Notes
Apple Crisp Topping:
- Make Ahead Idea. At this point, the Apple Crisp Topping can be stored in an airtight container and saved to use another time. We like to keep some on hand in the pantry for those last minute desserts.
- Apple Crisp for Two. Peel, core, and cut an apple into thin slices. Toss with one teaspoon of sugar and a little ground cinnamon. Divide the prepared apples into two small ramekins. In a separate bowl, use a pastry cutter or a fork to combine 1/2 cup of Apple Crisp Topping with two tablespoons of cold, cubed butter. Put this mixture over the top of the prepared apples. Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes.
