Equipment
- 1 Muffin pan for baking the crisp cups
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 Spoon for mixing
Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 3 cups diced apples Granny Smith and Honeycrisp
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss well to evenly coat the apples. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- In another bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin pan. Spoon the apple filling into each muffin cup, filling them about halfway. Top each with an equal amount of crumble topping.
