Print Recipe

A warm, comforting apple crisp made with just five simple ingredients, perfectly sized for two. This easy dessert comes together in under 15 minutes of prep and bakes to golden, bubbly perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp and Granny Smith)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the rack in the center.
  2. Peel, core, and slice 2 medium apples into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Toss with 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a medium bowl. Let sit while making the topping.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir with a fork.
  4. Add 4 tablespoons room temperature unsalted butter, cut into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly with pea-sized butter pieces.
  5. Divide the cinnamon-coated apple slices evenly between two 8-ounce ramekins. Pack them in gently.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples. Do not press down.
  7. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until topping is golden brown and apples are bubbling around the edges. If topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for best texture. Don’t overwork the topping. Let apples macerate with cinnamon for 5 minutes before assembling. Place ramekins on a baking sheet to catch drips. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free rolled oats. For vegan, substitute with vegan butter.
