This is a great dessert to make when entertaining... it's fun, warm, yummy, everyone gets their own, it can easily be made for 2 or 20, AND you can make it ahead!
Recipe (serves 4):
- 2 Large Apples
- 1 Pinch Granulated Sugar for each serving
- A dash a cinnamon for each serving
- Juice from 1/2 fresh Lemon
Crumble topping (same as topping used for Cran-Nectarine Crumble):
- 1/2 cup Quick Oats
- 1/3 cup Flour
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 4 Tablespoons COLD Butter
This is a VERY nifty little kitchen toy that slices, cores, and peels your apple all at once! I grew up with one from an actual an apple farm that we got when my parents took us apple picking. I always thought it was the coolest contraption, but now I see them everywhere! If you don't have one, you can find them at Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, WalMart, Amazon, ...really almost anywhere.
I just quickly diced my apple rings and dropped the diced pieces into individual ramekins. Then, into each ramekin, sprinkle a pinch of sugar, a dash of cinnamon, and a few squeezes of lemon juice over it all:
Top each dish with your crumble topping:
Bake at 350 degrees F for no more than 25 or 30 minutes:
Mmmmm... you know what I think this needs now...
Just a tiny little mountain of vanilla ice cream ;)
Love it when the cold, creamy ice cream mixes with the warm, crispy topping
More fun options to mix into the apple filling:
- dried cranberries,
- raisins,
- walnuts,
- other fresh berries (I think blueberries, raspberries, or boysenberries would be great with apples)
