# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel, core, and dice 1 medium (about 5 oz) baking apple (e.g., Honeycrisp, Granny Smith). This is the first step towards your delicious 50+ Sweet & Simple Single-Serve Desserts.
02 -
In a small oven-safe ramekin or dish (about 6-8 oz capacity), combine the diced apple with 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground nutmeg. Stir well to coat evenly.
03 -
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1 tbsp light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. Cut in 1 tbsp cold, diced unsalted butter until crumbly. This forms the "Golden Oat Crumble" for your 50+ Sweet & Simple Single-Serve Desserts.
04 -
Sprinkle the "Golden Oat Crumble" mixture evenly over the seasoned apple core in the ramekin. Ensure the apples are mostly covered for a perfect bake.
05 -
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning. This baking time is ideal for many 50+ Sweet & Simple Single-Serve Desserts.
06 -
Carefully remove from the oven. Drizzle with 1/4 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp maple syrup. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts. Let cool slightly before enjoying your warm, comforting 50+ Sweet & Simple Single-Serve Desserts.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to substitute the apple with other firm fruits like pears or even berries for a different twist on this single-serve delight.
02 -
For an extra indulgent treat, serve your warm apple crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
03 -
While best enjoyed fresh, any leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
04 -
You can prep the apple mixture and the crumble topping separately a day ahead. Store them in the fridge and assemble just before baking for a quick dessert.
