These delightful Apple Cinnamon Dessert Cups are the perfect individual treat, combining warm spiced apples with a crumble topping for a comforting and easy dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 medium apples (like Honeycrisp or Gala), peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 4 ramekins or oven-safe cups.
- In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the apples are cooking, prepare the crumble topping. In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Divide the cooked apple mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Crumble the topping mixture evenly over the apples in each ramekin.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- You can prepare the apple filling and crumble topping ahead of time and assemble just before baking.
- For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping.
- Adjust spices to your preference. A pinch of ground ginger can also be a nice addition.
