Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the apple cubes with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors blend.
Step 2: Make the Topping
In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix in melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Bites
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a mini muffin tin and lightly grease it. Spoon the apple filling into each muffin cup, filling them about halfway. Then, generously sprinkle the topping over each filled cup.
Step 4: Bake
Place the mini muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully use a spoon to extract the apple crisp bites from the muffin tin. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
