Equipment

  • 8 ramekins (1 cup capacity each)
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

For the topping:

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour or all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cut into 8 pieces

For the filling:

  • 2–3 lbs apples pears, or other seasonal fruits, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1–2 tsp raw cane sugar optional, based on sweetness of fruit

For serving:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange eight 1-cup ramekins on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Mix the topping: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, gluten-free or all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt. Add the butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the texture resembles small pea-sized clumps. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill until ready to use.
  • Prepare the fruit filling: Add the chopped seasonal fruit (such as apples, pears, or stone fruits) to a medium bowl. Taste the fruit, and if it's not naturally sweet enough, mix in 1–2 teaspoons of raw cane sugar to adjust the sweetness.
  • Assemble the crisps: Fill each ramekin to the brim with the prepared fruit mixture. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the chilled oat topping evenly over the fruit in each ramekin.
  • Bake the crisps: Transfer the ramekins to the oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the oat topping turns golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling at the edges. Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
  • Serve and enjoy: Once cooled slightly, top each crisp with a dollop of Greek yogurt and drizzle with honey before serving.

Notes

Make-ahead tip: The crumble topping can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for convenience. Prepare in bulk for future desserts.
Anti-inflammatory benefits: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and oats help reduce inflammation, making this dessert both tasty and beneficial.
