Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This creates the buttery topping for your apple crisp cups.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture into each muffin cup.
- Top the apples evenly with the buttery crumble mixture, ensuring a good amount of the buttery oat topping on each.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let the buttery apple crisp cups cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
