So, you know oatmeal doesn’t do it for me, right? Like, a big bowl of steaming hot oatmeal holds no appeal. However, if you want to put oats inside some baked goodies…I’m game.
I got a craving for all things fall while reading through that cookbook I told you guys about yesterday. I wanted to make an apple pie, but considering I’m the only person in this house that eats stuff like that, I decided to make little individual crispy things instead.
Actually, Baby A eats stuff like that (she eats everything…like a goat), but I thought splitting an entire apple pie with an 8 month old seemed a tad irresponsible.
We did, however, split this little ramekin full of apple crispy deliciousness. She got 2 bites, I got 8. Then I ate the other one during naptime the next day.
Sorry A, life’s not fair.
Oatmeal Apple Crisp
PRINT Recipe
makes 2
- 1 large apple (I used a honey crisp)
- 3 T butter, divided
- 1/4 c flour
- 1/4 c oats
- 1 T molasses
- 1/4 c sugar
- 1 t cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut up the apple into small chunks. Sauté them in a pan with 1 T of butter until softened.
Mix the flour, oats, cinnamon, sugar, molasses in a small bowl. Cut in the remaining 2 T of butter like you would if you were making scones. (Basically just smush it around in your fingers until the butter is mixed with the flour. You could also do this in a food processor.)
Split those sweet squishy apple bits into two ramekins. Cover with the oat mixture. Put the ramekins on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the tops look browned.
Happy Friday!


Clara did the “pooping in diaper then schmearing it everywhere” AGAIN yesterday. life is not fair indeed.
No she did NOT. Darn it. What a stinker.
there’s my free birth control for at least 2 days.
This looks delicious and it’s something I could actually make easily in my little student kitchen
Do you think the molasses could be replaced with anything else? It’s just not an ingredient I ever use!
Try maple syrup!
Thank you!
Oatmeal apple crisp? Yes please!
Apple crisp for one? Yes please!
Perfect way to start the weekend…
I love Apple Crisp, but for some reason haven’t had it in a long time. I’m like baby A, but I’m in control of when I can eat the crisp, and sadly, I’m choosing not to. What’s wrong with me?!?!
I want 8 bites! Can I have 8 bites?
I can see this replacing my current mug cake addiction. Just as easy!
I agree with Gina! This is a great alternative to the deadly mug cake!
I really need to get my hands on that cookbook. I clicked on the link to amazon yesterday and then got distracted. REMIND ME TO BUY IT if I haven’t when I see you!
This whole post made me so excited for Fall!! AND FOR SEEING YOU!!!
Haha…I will do that. We should go to this adorable little kitchen/cookbook shop in Boulder when we’re there. It is amazing…you will die of happiness.
Well I know what I’m having for dinner…
I love that this recipe is only for 2–me, and me!
this looks yummy, I eat oatmeal the same way every single day! I need to spice it up and this is the perfect way!
now multiply this by 6, shove it in a crockpot and you have breakfast, lunch and dinner. done.
Can I hire you to crock-potify all of my meals?
crock-potify…lol.
Ramekins, and the fact that they now sell ice cream in those little mini cartons … plus the general existence of frozen yogurt, are the only things that prevent me from a lifetime of obesity.
Happy Friday to you toooo!!
lol. Long live personal-size-cupcake/cobblers/crisps/brulees-made-in-ramekins. .
mmm this looks delicious! and i just got small ramekins so it’s the perfect dessert/snack!
I tried to make a crisp once a couple of years ago and it was suchhhhhhh a fail.. i’ll have to try your recipe.
This is pretty fail proof…try it! (and then invite me over to share)
Obviously you are always invited over to my kitchen (and please bring Babycakes, too).
I have a feeling you will be saying “Life’s not fair” quite a few times, as a momma. This looks great!
Our baby…the goat.
I JUST discovered your blog. Fabulous-o!!
Thank you!
I just roasted some broccoli (omg, yum) thanks to a Pinterest find. Now, your blog has given me so many more veggie roasting ideas!
Love apple crisp! This looks delicious! And I like how you made more individual servings instead of that whole apple pie.
happy Friday!
I love apple pie but have honestly never had apple crisp…must get on that now.
This looks like an apple pie in a bowl, yum!
Well, that just looks delicious!
It most definitely was delicious!
I love apple crisp because it is legal sweet food! I ran out of apples 3 days ago and have been craving them like crazy. I think I will have to buy enough to snack on and make this amazing dish
!
I’m the same way…I dislike oatmeal for breakfast, but I love the stuff when it is in granola or something baked! YUM!
