Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Crisp Topping:
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Make the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.
- Assemble the Bites: Spoon the apple mixture into the mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Top with a spoonful of the oat crumble mixture.
- Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Optionally, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and oats.
You can freeze these bites for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven before serving.
Experiment with adding nuts to the topping for extra crunch.
