Equipment
- 12 or 16 oz ramekin (such as a mini Dutch oven, casserole dish or cocotte dish)
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 large honey crisp apple
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- small pinch ground nutmeg
- small pinch ground allspice
Topping
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- ⅛ tsp coarse Kosher salt (if using table salt, use half the amount)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, and position a rack in the center of the oven. Lightly grease a 12 or 16-oz ramekin with softened butter or non-stick baking spray. (Instead of a ramekin, you can also use a mini 6-inch cast iron skillet.)
- Peel and core the apple, then chop it into quarter inch pieces. In a bowl, combine the chopped apple with the rest of the filling ingredients. Scrape the apple mixture into the ramekin.
- In the same bowl, combine all of the topping ingredients, then sprinkle the topping over the apples.
- Bake the apple crisp for about 35 minutes, until the apples are soft and the topping is light golden brown.
- Cool for 10 minutes, then serve hot with a scoop of ice cream.
