This easy 5-ingredient apple crisp for two is a warm, comforting dessert made with apples, oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter. It’s quick to prepare, perfect for cozy nights, and delivers a crunchy, caramelized topping over tender apples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium apples (about 300g total), peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/4-inch wedges
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place two 8-ounce ramekins on a small baking sheet.
  2. Wash, peel, and core the apples. Slice them into thin wedges, about 1/4-inch thick. Place the slices in a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and packed brown sugar. Stir together with a fork. Add the cold cubed butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to cut it into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Divide the apple slices evenly between the two ramekins, mounding them slightly. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over each ramekin, pressing down gently with your fingers.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 5 minutes.
  6. Let the crisps cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter and do not overmix the topping. Let the crisp rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set. Place ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. If you want to add spices, mix 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg into the topping.
