Single Serve Healthy Apple Crisp

Why You’ll Love This Single Serve Healthy Apple Crisp

• Less waste – since this recipe makes just enough for a single serving, you won’t have to worry about having to finish all the leftovers.
• Made with better-for-you ingredients – they say ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ – does that apply to apple crisps? LOL. But seriously, this crisp is made from oats and nuts and it’s naturally sweetened.
• Quicker, easier and cheaper – since you’re using smaller portions it’s quicker and easier to make this recipe. It’s also cheaper since you’re using less ingredients.
• Still delicious – just because it’s smaller doesn’t mean it tastes any less! Since this recipe is adapted from my full serving Healthy Apple Crisp, it’s made with those same flavorful ingredients, just scaled down to a single serving.

• Apples – honeycrisp are my favorite apples to use in a crisp, but gala apples are just as delicious. Slice the apples thinly to ensure they cook thoroughly and soften. 
• Rolled Oats – to make the crisp topping. Use certified gluten-free rolled oats if necessary.
• Almond Flour – almond flour provides a moist texture and slightly nutty flavor.
• Walnuts – adds a nice healthy crunch. Feel free to substitute for any other nuts (pecans, sliced almonds, etc.)
• Maple Syrup – the natural sweetener which also adds delicious maple flavor.
• Vegan Butter – for the crisp topping. Melted coconut oil would also work.
• Vanilla Extract – adds depth of flavor.
• Coconut Sugar – just 1/2 tablespoon. You can also use any other kind of sugar (brown, cane, maple, etc.). 
• Spices – cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. 

How To Make Single Serve Healthy Apple Crisp

This recipe is super easy to make and nearly impossible to mess up!

Thinly slice the apples and add them to a bowl along with coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix everything together. Transfer the apples to a ramekin. In the same bowl (no need to clean it!), make the crisp topping by adding the oats, almond flour, walnuts, maple syrup, vegan butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to a bowl and mix until a crumbly mixture forms. Sprinkle the crisp topping on top of the apples. Cover with tinfoil and pop it in the oven.

Serving Suggestions

There’s so many different ways to enjoy apple crisp. Most famously, with vanilla ice cream. However, there are some other delicious ways to enjoy apple crisp if you’re wanting to switch it up.

• A la mode – most famously, serve the apple crisp warm with your favorite vanilla ice cream for that delicious contrast of warm and cold.
• A drizzle of peanut butter – apples and peanut butter are one of the most iconic duos, so next time you have apple crisp add a drizzle of peanut butter and enjoy! This is my personal favorite.
• A dollop of yogurt – enjoy this single serve apple crisp for breakfast or as a healthy snack with a dollop of yogurt. Or, layer it in a glass jar to create a fun yogurt parfait!
