This Mini Apple Crisp recipe is the perfect dessert for one or two people. Apple crisp is the ultimate comfort dessert and we love this updated superfood and gluten-free take on an old classic. The crumb topping of this outrageously delicious dessert is made with our Cherry Almond Chia Muesli, gluten-free flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, sea salt and butter, while the apple mixture features 2 apples, cinnamon, sugar and sea salt. While not required, we highly recommend having ice-cream on hand, and making two so you don’t have to share.

Ingredients

CRUMB TOPPING

• 1/3 c our Cherry Almond Chia Muesli

• 1/3 c flour (all purpose gluten-free flour or conventional)

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• Heavy pinch sea salt

• 3 tbsp butter
  

APPLE MIXTURE

• 2 apples, peeled cored and sliced 

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tbsp sugar 

• heavy pinch sea salt 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 and place a mini cocotte on a parchment lined baking sheet.

2. In a small bowl, place all the dry ingredients for the crumb topping and mix together thoroughly. Note: I crushed up the Muesli quickly in a mortar and pestle to break up some of the nuts. 

3. Add butter and cut it in with a pastry cutter or a fork until crumbs start to form. Set aside.

4. Mix together the apples, cinnamon, sugar, and sea salt until the apples are coated. Set aside.

5. Press apples in a a mini cocotte making sure to fill it generously and the apples will cook down in the oven.

6. Add a generous amount of the crumb topping. I did a handful and a half here.

7. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes.

8. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

9. Serve with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.
