Print Recipe

A warm, appley, and caramel-drenched dessert for two that’s lighter than traditional crisp but still deeply satisfying. Perfect for a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Honeycrisp apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, toss diced apples with apple cider and maple syrup. Transfer to a small baking dish (about 6-inch round or similar).
  3. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Sprinkle oat topping evenly over the apple mixture.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until topping is golden brown and apples are bubbly and tender.
  6. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of extra caramel.

Notes

For a vegan version, use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of butter. The apple cider caramel flavor intensifies as it bakes. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
