Ingredient Notes
Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card below.
- Apple: I like to peel and dice my apples into small chunks so they cook quicker and are easier to bite. Peeling is my preference, but not necessary.
- Brown Sugar: I used light, but dark or granulated would work also.
- Flour: I used all-purpose, but wheat or gluten free would work.
- Butter: Once melted, allow it to cool before combining.
Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 and butter or spray two ramekins with cooking spray.
Step 2: In a small bowl mix together diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Divide evenly between the two baking dishes.
Step 3: Using the same bowl mix together flour, brown sugar and salt. Add in melted butter and mix together until combined. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples.
Step 4: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly golden brown along the top. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

I made this a few days ago, exactly as written, in two 8 ounce ramekins. It was quick, easy, and delicious. I might also try it with frozen blueberries or cranberries.
