Caramel Apple Crisp for Two

Be the first to rate & review!

Caramel adds a sweet and salty note to this classic apple crisp designed just for two. Store-bought caramel sauce works well here, but it's easy to make your own if you prefer. Drizzle it over the warm apple crisp right before serving if you want to make this easy dessert an extra-special treat.

Ingredients

Filling

2 cups chopped apples, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith or Pink Lady
2 tablespoons caramel sauce (see Tip), plus more for garnish
½ teaspoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Pinch of nutmeg

Topping

3 tablespoons rolled oats
1 tablespoon white whole-wheat flour or spelt flour
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped toasted pecans
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cubed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
To prepare filling: Combine apples, caramel sauce, cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Divide between 2 6- to 8-ounce ramekins.
To prepare topping: Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Using a fork, pastry cutter or your fingers, cut butter into the mixture until combined. Sprinkle the topping over the apples.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until the topping is crisp and the apples are bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce, if desired.

Tips

Equipment: 2 6- to 8-ounce ramekins

Tip: To Make Caramel Sauce: Heat 1/3 cup sugar and 1 1/2 Tbsp. water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, without stirring, until the mixture is amber brown, about 5 minutes. Swirl the pan, if necessary, to ensure even coloring. Remove from heat. Carefully whisk in 1/3 cup heavy cream. (Be careful, the caramel may sputter.) Return the pan to medium heat and cook, stirring, until smooth, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tsp. butter and a pinch of salt. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
