Filling: In this single-serve apple crisp recipe, honey crisp apples are wrapped in a cozy blend of light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg for caramel-like sweetness. A splash of lemon juice brightens the apples, while vanilla bean paste adds rich, bakery-level flavor to every bite!

How To Make One Serving of Apple Crisp

1. Preheat the oven. Then peel and chop the apples.
2. Combine the chopped honey crisp apples, light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice, vanilla bean paste, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt in a small bowl. Stir the apple crisp mixture to evenly coat everything.
3. Transfer the mixture to a ramekin.
4. Top the apple crisp with a pat of salted butter.
5. Prepare the apple crisp topping by combining quick 1-minute oats, light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salted butter in a bowl. Mix the topping until it forms clumps and holds together when you squeeze it.
