# Ingredients:

→ Sweet & Tender Apple Core

01 - 1 medium (about 5 oz) baking apple (e.g., Honeycrisp, Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and diced
02 - 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
03 - 1 tsp granulated sugar
04 - 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
05 - Pinch of ground nutmeg

→ Golden Oat Crumble

06 - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
08 - 1 tbsp light brown sugar, packed
09 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and diced
10 - Pinch of salt
11 - 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

→ Flavor & Sweetness Accents

12 - 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
13 - 1 tsp maple syrup
14 - 1 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts

# 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.
