Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 4 cups finely chopped apples, peeled (preferably Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith)
  • ¼ cup (80g) maple syrup
  • 1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt

Streusel Topping

  • 1 cup (100g) almond flour
  • ¾ cup (65g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup (27g) finely chopped pecans
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease four 8-ounce oven-safe ramekins with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, maple syrup, cornstarch, melted butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated, then divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.

  3. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, oats, pecans, maple syrup, melted butter, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until a crumbly mixture forms. Sprinkle the topping evenly over each ramekin.

  4. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges. Let the crisps cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
