Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 small tart apples, cored and thinly sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8-oz ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Combine apples, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt for the filling in a bowl; toss until thoroughly mixed. Divide mixture between the prepared ramekins.

Step 3

Combine oats, flour, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt for the topping in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Cut in softened butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly on top of the filling in the ramekins.

Step 4

Place baking sheet with ramekins into the preheated oven and bake until apples are tender and the topping is slightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
