Detailed Directions and Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

Step 2: Prepare the Apple Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir the mixture until the apples are well-coated.

Step 3: Make the Crisp Topping

In a separate bowl, mix together oats, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. Blend until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Bites

Take a mini muffin tin and lightly grease it. Spoon the apple mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about halfway. Top with the crisp topping, ensuring each cup is filled.

Step 5: Bake in the Oven

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the apples are tender.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Once baked, remove the tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove the bites and serve warm, either plain or with a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

Note 1: Choosing Apples

For the best flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Fuji.

Note 2: Adjusting Sweetness

Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your taste, especially if your apples are particularly sweet.

Note 3: Storage Suggestions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days for the best freshness.

Note 4: Serving Suggestions

These apple crisp bites are delicious on their own but pair wonderfully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
