ingredients
-
Filling
- 3 cups tart apples, peeled diced and sliced (I use only Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 dash clove
-
Topping
- 4 tablespoons butter (maybe a little more)
- 3⁄4 cup rolled oats
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F Butter 4 individual casserole dishes. (If you choose to make one large crisp, you'll increase baking time by about 10 minutes.) I often forget the butter. No biggie.
- I love to cook, but hate doing dishes, so I make this all in one pot. In a medium pot (NO HEAT!) combine apples and lemon juice and toss well to coat. Add in the rest of the filling ingredients, brown sugar, white sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir well to combine, breaking up any lumps of sugar or flour.
- Pour equal amounts of apple mixture into the four casseroles. They should be about half full. Set aside.
- In the same pan (see? one less bowl to wash!) melt the butter over medium lo heat. Once butter is melted, turn off heat.
- Add in remaining topping ingredients: oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nuts if you're using them. Stir to combine well, again, breaking up any obvious lumps of sugar or flour.
- **The topping should not be "wet", but if it seems TOO dry, and the butter does not seem to have coated all of the oats, then add in an additional tablespoon of butter. It won't hurt anything.
- Pour mixture equally over the apples in each dish. They should be almost full, but not overflowing.
- Place the dishes on a cookie sheet, just in case the filling does overflow. Bake for 30 minutes (40 if you're making one big crisp).
- Allow to cool, serve with milk, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.

Wonderful! I am a long-time fan of apple crisp and this is a good recipe! My individual sized casserole dishes must have held a little more than the dish called for because I got only 3 servings from this recipe. I used Fiji apples and made without nuts. The hint of clove was very good in this crisp. My usual apple crisp does not include clove. Thank you for sharing, Gatorbeck!

This recipe made it into our Book #231450. 6/23/08 - Ooh this is so yummy! I made 3 individual servings for brunch using 3 golden delicious apples and halved the sugar amounts for the apple portion of this recipe. I sprinkled the apple slices with a few sliced almonds before putting the topping on. Also for the topping, I didn't melt the butter, but made a crumble topping using firm butter. The topping was piled high when I placed them in the oven on a foil covered baking sheet (to make clean up easy). Baking them softened the apples, and melted the topping down so it ended up almost level with the top of the ramekins when they were done. They turned out perfect. Simple and easy, this is a wonderful brunch or dessert item. Thanks for posting! :)

I live on the coast of Florida, near St. Pete. Great seafood abounds here! Cooking good, family friendly meals is my passion, and my kids are as into it as I am. (My 3 year old cracks a mean egg!)
