  1 tbsp light brown sugar

  1 tbsp granulated sugar

  1 and 1/4 tsp cornstarch

  1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

  1/8 tsp ground cloves

  1/8 tsp salt

• For the crisp topping:

  3 tbsp all-purpose flour (option for gluten-free)

  2 tbsp rolled oats*

  1 tbsp light brown sugar

  1 tbsp granulated sugar

  1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  Pinch of salt

  2 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed (option for dairy-free)

Instructions (yields 4 crisps):

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter 4 small ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet and set aside.

• In a large bowl, mix together the sugars, cornstarch, spices, and salt.

• Peel and core the apples before slicing into 1/2-inch cubes. Add the apples to the sugar mixture and toss to coat. Evenly divide the apples among the 4 ramekins and set aside.

• In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Use a fork or your hands to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles wet sand and clumps together. Evenly sprinkle the mixture over the apples.

• Bake for 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apple layer is bubbling. Allow to cool before eating. Serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!

• Recipe Notes

  While oats are naturally gluten-free, they are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye. If you have celiac disease, choose certified gluten-free oats to minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
