These individual dishes of sweet-tart roasted apples are a deeply satisfying end to a meal. What makes this so special is the topping: The oats and almonds give this dish a shot of fiber, healthy fat, and antioxidants, while the crunchy texture offers a rewarding contrast to the soft, cooked apples. If you don’t have ramekins, you can bake the dessert in a small 1-quart dish.
Instructions :
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, apple juice, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, 1⁄8 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and 1⁄8 teaspoon of the nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats and salt with the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg. Add the butter and work the mixture with your fingertips until it comes together in moist clumps. Add the almonds and work them in.
- Divide the apple mixture among four 1-cup ramekins or a 1-quart round or square baking dish. Top with the oat mixture. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the apples are hot and bubbling and the crumble has begun to brown. Let cool for a few minutes. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
