In the realm of sweet, satisfying treats, apple crisp bites are emerging as a preferred indulgence among dessert lovers everywhere. This compact and bite-sized delight, packed full with the wholesome goodness of apples and topped with a crispy, crunchy crumble, promises an explosion of taste and texture with each bite.

Considered a quintessential dessert especially during the fall season, apple crisp bites have captured the hearts of many with their delightful contrast of soft, warm apples and crispy baked topping. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight dessert to the grandest holiday parties.

The allure of apple crisp bites lies not just in their irresistible taste but also in the simplicity of their ingredients. The primary ingredient, of course, is fresh apples. Choose from a variety of apple types depending on your taste preference, with Granny Smith apples being a popular choice for their tart flavor which beautifully contrasts with the sweetness of the rest of the dish.

For the crumble topping, a mixture of flour, sugar, and a touch of cinnamon is used, along with butter to create that classic, crumbly texture we all love. Some may even add oats to their topping for an extra crunch.

Here’s how you can make these delightful apple crisp bites:

Ingredients:

For the Apple Filling:

• 1 cup finely diced peeled apples
• 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with mini paper liners.
2. In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the apple filling. Ensure the apples are coated well with the mixture.
3. In another bowl, mix together the ingredients for the crumble topping until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Fill each muffin cup with the apple filling up to 3/4 full. Top each one with the crumble topping.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown.
6. Allow them to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Apple crisp bites are best served warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an added touch of decadence. As you bite into these little pieces of heaven, you’ll understand why they have become such a beloved dessert for many. Enjoy these delightful morsels of sweet apple goodness at any time of the year and satisfy your sweet cravings in the most delectable way possible.

Note:

Some people might not want to use cornstarch in the filling, but because some apples can be juicier than others it’s better to use it to thicken the filling.
