★Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

1. Prepare the Apple Filling:

• In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

1. Make the Crisp Topping:

• In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
• Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

1. Assemble the Bites:

• Spoon about a tablespoon of the apple filling into each mini muffin cup.
• Sprinkle the crisp topping generously over the apples in each cup, pressing down slightly to adhere.

1. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

1. Cool and Serve:

• Allow the apple crisp bites to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional:

• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy!
