Apple Crisp
 
 
Makes 2 generous servings
Ingredients
Topping:
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup light or dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ½" cubes and chilled
Filling:
  • 3 medium apples
  • 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Make the topping:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles coarse meal. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Make the filling and bake the apple crisp:
  1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees.
  2. Peel and core the apples and cut them in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into ½"-thick slices.
  3. Divide the apple slices evenly among 2 small cast iron skillets or ramekins. Drizzle 1 tablespoon water over each serving.
  4. Divide the topping evenly over the apples without pressing down on it.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the topping is browned and the apples are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
