Ingredients

• 3 Honeycrisp or Fuji apples (Peeled and sliced)
• 42.5 g Brown sugar (Apple filling; source gives 35–50 g)

• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon (Apple filling)
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg (Apple filling)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract (Apple filling)
• Salt (A pinch, for the apple filling)
• 100 g Butter (Cold; for the crumble topping)
• 110 g Plain flour (For the crumble topping)
• 25 g Brown sugar (For the crumble topping)
• 50 g White sugar (For the crumble topping)
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon (For the crumble; source gives ½–1 tsp)

• Salt (A pinch, for the crumble)
• Milk (Optional; the transcript says to add a little if the crumble mixture is too dry)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel and slice the apples.

2. 2

   Place the sliced apples, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a pan over medium heat.

3. 3

   Cook the apple filling over medium heat until the apples soften and become glossy and caramelized.

4. 4

   Divide the softened apple filling among ramekins.

5. 5

   Combine the cold butter, plain flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Rub the ingredients together with your fingers until coarse crumbs form. If the mixture is too dry, add a little milk, as mentioned in the transcript.

6. 6

   Pile the crumble mixture over the apples in the ramekins.

7. 7

   Bake at 375°F for approximately 20–25 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.

   For a crispier topping, broil for 2 minutes at the end, watching closely.

9. 9

   Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

The source describes the recipe as single-serving but instructs dividing the filling among ramekins. Ingredient ranges are represented by their midpoint, with the original ranges retained in the notes. Broiling time is approximate; watch carefully to prevent burning.
