Apple Crisp for 2

As you see in the photo I have done this recipe two ways. The instructions listed in this recipe are for 2 traditional sized ramekins. I happen to have a medium sized ramekin that fits about 2 of the traditional size ramekins. You may use any oven safe bowl for this alteration to the recipe – it simply creates a bigger portion to be enjoyed either by yourself or shared. I have found this medium sized ramekin at Homesense. 

For the filling:

• 2 large apples peeled, cored, and chopped – about 2 cups
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 
• 3 tbsp minute oats
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• tiny pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter cold and cubed (you can make this recipe vegan by using Earth’s Own Butter alternative) 
• Halo Top sea salt caramel ice cream 

Instructions for Apple Crisp for 2

To make the filling

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 10-ounce ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix your apples, flour, and sugar and vanilla until all of the apple pieces are coated well. Evenly distribute the apple filling between both ramekins and set aside.

To make the topping 

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl add the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt and mix until well combined. Add in your butter and work the mixture together well until it forms into clumps. Evenly distribute the topping between both ramekins on top of the apple filling.
2. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until the apples are cooked through and the topping is lightly golden brown. Allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes. If you don’t find that golden crisp at the top but feel like your apple crisp is cooked well, turn on a light broil for about 5 minutes to achieve that golden look. Serve and enjoy. 

• For the medium sized ramekin, simply combined the entire recipe in one. No split. Depending on the size of your ramekin, you might need to adjust the cooking time accordingly in 5 minute increments. Voila!
