Apple Filling
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease six 6 ounce ramekins with butter or baking spray. Set aside.
2
Then, use a vegetable peeler to peel the apples. Core the apples and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer the cubed apples to a large mixing bowl.
3
Add the brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, apple pie spice, cardamom, and salt. Toss until the apples are well-coated in the spices and the sugar and cornstarch have dissolved. Equally divide the apple mixture between the six prepared ramekins.
Oat Topping
1
To make the topping, combine the all-purpose flour, quick-cooking oats, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
2
Add the melted butter and stir the mixture until it's crumbly and there are no more dry spots. Don't over-mix! Sprinkle the oat topping equally over the ramekins of apple filling.
Bake and Serve
1
Place the prepared crumbles on a sheet pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden-brown. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
2
Serve the crumbles warm with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, toasted nuts, or other toppings you like. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Choose the Right Apple Variety 🍎Honeycrisp apples are excellent, but mixing them with Granny Smith or Pink Lady adds tartness that balances the sweetness and prevents the filling from becoming cloying.
- Macerate Your Apples First 🍋Toss diced apples with lemon juice, cornstarch, and spices 15 minutes before baking to draw out juices and allow the cornstarch to thicken them, creating that perfect jammy texture.
- Toast Your Oats and Nuts 🥜Briefly toast the quick-cooking oats and nuts in a dry skillet before mixing into the crumble topping to deepen their nutty flavor and add complexity to each bite.
- Keep Your Butter Cold 🧈Use cold, cubed unsalted butter when making the crumble topping and work it in quickly with your fingertips to create distinct, crunchy clusters rather than a uniform paste.
- Individual Ramekins Cook Faster and More Evenly ⏱️Since these are mini portions, check for doneness at 20 minutes rather than the full 30-35 minutes to prevent over-baking and ensure the apples stay tender with a slight bite.
