Apple Crisp in a Jar

I bought all of the ingredients for this and had planned to make it for a delicious post-Super Bowl treat. But, by the time that the (uneventful) game was over we just weren't feeling baking any more. Our Sunday night laziness meant that we got to enjoy the cinnamon apple goodness on Monday.

My mom had bought me 2 dozen half-pint jars around Christmas time so I could make baked goodies for friends, family, and coworkers. I have a few left over from the holiday season and have enjoyed making small personal-sized desserts for Jacob and I.

The recipe was really simple.  It took about 10 minutes to assemble it all and 25 minutes to cook. It is sooo good, an 8 out of 10! I'd definitely make this again. We served ours with a dollop of sugar free vanilla ice cream and it was divine!

Ingredients

Apple Filling
2 apples
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey

Crumble Topping
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
*a little brown sugar for sprinkling on top*


Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a medium-size bowl, mix melted butter, cinnamon, and honey.
Cut your apples into one-inch, bite-sized pieces. Toss in above mixture.
Make sure the apples are thoroughly coated in the sticky, cinnamon concoction.
Divide the apples between the two half-pint jars.
Set aside.

In another medium-sized bowl, mix together rolled oats, flour, walnuts, and salt.
Add in melted butter and honey.
Stir together until mixture becomes clumpy.
Cover the top of the apples in the jars.
Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the crumble.
Put both jars on a cookie sheet
Put in the oven for 25 minutes. 


The crumble on top will be golden brown and delicious!
Let the desserts cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.



Enjoy!
