These Apple Crisp Bites are a delightful, bite-sized version of the classic apple crisp dessert. Featuring tender cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery oat crumble, these bites are perfect for a quick dessert or snack. Easy to make and baked in under 30 minutes, they’re a cozy treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit:

  • 2 medium apples (about 2 cups diced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Topping:

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the crisp bites.
  2. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Drizzle them with lemon juice and gently mix to coat evenly. Set aside to prevent browning and add a slight tang.
  3. Make the crumb topping: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well mixed.
  4. Assemble the crisp: Spread the diced apples evenly in the prepared baking dish. Then, sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, covering them thoroughly.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the apples become tender but not mushy.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for a few minutes. Cut into bite-sized squares for easy serving.
  7. Optional serving suggestions: Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate the flavors and add creaminess.

Notes

  • Use tart apple varieties such as Granny Smith for a balanced sweetness.
  • Ensure the butter is melted but not hot when mixing with dry ingredients to create the perfect crumbly texture.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving if stored cold.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
