Marisa’s Apple Crisp Oatmeal Muffins

These Apple Crisp Oatmeal Muffins are a nice alternative to apple crisp and a tasty single-serve dessert. They’re handy to take to gatherings & not have to worry about spooning the desert out of a pan. #easy

These are great to do with the kids. Not a ton of ingredients, and they can have fun pressing the crust into the muffin pan. Even cleanup is pretty easy, and they need to learn that part too!

I used Honeycrisp apples, and they worked perfectly. But use whatever variety is your favorite! I don’t know that I have ever tried any variety of apples that I didn’t like. But there are some I like better than others. The Opal apples are my favorite!

Did you know that there are over 7,500 varieties of apples in the world? Some of the names are funny -Granny Smith, Fuji, Pink Pearl, and…. Ashmead’s Kernel??? Apples come in all kinds of colors, sizes, and tastes.

Some apples are loved for their crispness and tartness, ideal for baking or snacking, while others for their sweetness, perfect for fresh eating or juicing. There’s an apple to suit every palate and every culinary need. No wonder they’re one of the most versatile and beloved fruits worldwide!

Equipment

• 1 Muffin pan – if you don't use the paper or silicone cupcake liners, you should grease the pan.

Ingredients

  

• 5-6 medium apples peeled, cored, and cut into cubes about 1/4"
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup apple pie filling
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/3 tbsp corn starch
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 14 tbsp butter it's easier to cut in if you grate it first
• 5 tbsp water

Instructions

 

Apple Pie Filling

• 1. Prehet oven to 350℉

• 3. In a small dish combine cornstarch and 2 tbsp of water. Add to pan while stirring. Continue to cook another 5-6 minuts until apples are tender and filling thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Oatmeal Cookie Crust

• 1. In a large bowl, combine ½ cup brown sugar, flour, and oats. Cut in 12 Tbsp butter with a pastry cutter until it is the consistency of coarse crumbs.
• 2. Put about 2 heaping Tbsp of the mixture in each cup. Press firmly into the bottom and side to form a "cup." You will have some mixture left over.
• 3. Now add about 2 Tbsp of the apple pie filling to each cup, until the "crumb cup" is filled.
• 4. Sprinklt 1 Tbsp of remaining mixture on top of each cup.

Bake

• 1. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown. Approximately 15-20 minutes.
• 2. Allow to cool in the pan 10 minutes.
• 3. Optional: Drizzle with caramel topping if desired. (But they're delicious without it!)
