Does An Apple A Day Really Keep The Doctor Away? If So Make These Delicious Mini Apple Crisps

We have heard the old adage, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” So what is it about apples that make them so special to receive this powerful acclamation of providing one with the ability to attain good health?

What we do know is that apples are full of fiber and flavonoids (or antioxidants) suspected to ward off cancer. This in itself is good news, right. Also, there is the fiber content in our beloved apples which helps support the gut and digestion as well as promote a healthy colon which is essential to the removal of toxic waste through elimination. This is ideal considering the assertions made by medical science and that is “death begins in the colon.”

With that being said, an apple a day may actually prove beneficial health-wise though I’m not sure if it has or will “keep the doctor away” solely on its own merits? However, coupled with eating other whole, healthy and life-giving foods along with the apple is at least a start that can help lead to more vibrant health. However, for now enough about the doctor and this medical lingo, and on to the recipe for these tasty Mini Single Serve Apple Crisps in ramekins as that’s why you’re here.

This apple recipe in particular is designed for four. Therefore, the recipe will reflect this. However, just double depending on the number of people you’ll be feeding in your household or on your guest list.

Ingredients

For the apple filling

  • 6 Apples, diced or 2, 15 ounce Apple Pie Filling, if preferred I prefer MacIntosh or Granny Smith apples.
  • 1 /2 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 4 Tbsp Butter unsalted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the crisp topping

  • 3/4 cup Flour
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar dark or light
  • 3/4 cup Pecans, chopped
  • 3/4 cup Oats
  • 1 Stick Butter melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to a pan on medium heat.

  3. Add the chopped apples, sugar and cinnamon to the pan of melted butter.

  4. Allow the apples to cook for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the apples to get tender and a thick syrup to form.

  5. Then stir in vanilla and remove pan from off of the heat. Allow the apple filling to cool down a bit before assembling the crisp.

  6. Meanwhile, add the flour, sugar, pecans, and oats into a bowl. Mix to combine all of the ingredients together.

  7. Next, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. The contents will be crumbly in consistency.

  8. Top each ramekin with the warmed apple mixture and follow with a heaping helping of the sugar pecan crumble.

  9. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
