Preparation

Step 1

Cook apples:

Halve and core apples, then cut into ¾" chunks. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the sugar & spices. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons butter to melt. Add the apples and stir well. Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until juices are released and apples have begun to soften, about 10 minutes. Uncover skillet and add cider. Continue to simmer the apples until juices have thickened, another 5-6 minutes.

Make crispy topping

Preheat oven to 350`F. In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add butter and work in with your fingers until mixture is crumbly. Use your hands to squeeze and press mixture together so that clumps form, this gets the butter fully incorporated and moistens the crumb thoroughly. Break up large clumps into smaller pieces.

Bake crisps.

Place six 6-8 ounce baking ramekins on a sheet pan and divide apples between them, getting some of the syrupy liquid in each dish. Mound a generous amount of topping over each ramekin, pressing slightly to get more on!

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown and crispy. If desired, serve with vanilla ice cream.
