Apple Crisp for Two

Last weekend, we traveled with a few friends outside of the city to Yecheon and Mungyeong Saejae Provincial Park. We got to experience the Yecheon Archery festival, which was a total blast! I was able to harness my inner Katiss Everdeen and tried out two different forms of archery. We also visited an apple orchard in Mungyeong, and got to pick some of the biggest apples I have ever seen and then we enjoyed a lovely Hanwoo beef barbeque dinner. Overall, the trip had its ups and downs, but it was lovely to get out of the city for the day.

Since the Simmering Seoulmate and I got two huge boxes of apples, I thought I’d share a couple apple recipes for you. This first recipe is a favourite of ours and very easy to make. I am not a pie lover, so that it why I love apple crisp so much. It has amazing flavours and a crispy topping that is irresistible. I hope you try it out this fall!

Ingredients

1/2 of an enormous apple or one regular sized apple peeled and cut into small slices
6 tbsp oats
4 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 177 degrees C. Place apples into two small ungreased ramekin dishes. (If you don’t have ramekins you can use a small loaf pan.) In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, oats, brown sugar, and spices. Spoon the mixture on top of the apples. Cover each ramekin with foil and place them on a cookie sheet. Put into the oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove foil and place back in the oven for 15 more minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Makes two sweet treats.
