Baked Apples with Oat Crumbles

I love me some apple cobbler, but cobblers generally have a ton of sugar and with each recipe I make more cobbler than I can resist! When I saw this recipe on skinnytaste.com I was so excited! I followed the recipe to a "t" the first time and it was good, the only downfall was that any crumbles that didn't stay on the apple ended up being a burnt mess on my baking sheet (the wasted crumbles was just such a tragedy!) ! -_-. By slicing the apples and placing them in a ramekin I was able to maximize the crumbles and cut the baking time by a little. This is budget friendly and can be easily scaled up for larger families. And also because this dessert is so small and isn't extremely temperature sensitive, you can bake them in your toaster oven! HUZZAH! 

In the future, I'm going to make the crumble mixture sans butter in bulk and store in an airtight container and add just mix 1 Tbsp of butter per 4 Tbsp of crumble mixture. I've also substituted the butter with coconut oil the second time around and it was just as delicious!

1 large apple

1 Tbsp butter, melted 

1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp quick oats
pinch of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, slice apples (I used an apple slicer and then sliced those slices in halves). Arrange apple slices into a ramekin.

In a small bowl combine butter, brown sugar, flour, oats and cinnamon. Spoon on top of the sliced apples and bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until apples are tender.

Here's a picture of the Apple Slicer, the price is a little steep but it's super convenient to slice apples for baking or even just to slice apples in seconds for a healthy snack!
