Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 6-8 muffin cups or ramekins.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Add the flour, rolled oats, and salt. Mix until just combined and a crumbly mixture forms.
- In a separate small bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice, cornstarch, and water.
- Divide half of the apple mixture among the prepared muffin cups or ramekins.
- Top each with a generous portion of the crumble mixture, pressing it down slightly.
- Add the remaining apple mixture on top of the crumble.
- Top with the remaining crumble mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble mixture.
- If you prefer a softer crumble, you can bake the crumble mixture separately on a baking sheet until golden brown, then sprinkle it over the apples before serving.
- These dessert cups can be assembled a few hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
