Apple Crisp Cups

Here is an amazing snack my husband made today.  They are apple crisp cups.  It is seriously so delicious!  The only thing I would say is I think it would taste even better with some vanilla ice cream and caramel.  Here is the recipe.

Apple Crisp Cup

3 MacIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1/4 cup water
2 tbs. white sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (optional)
1 1/2 cups butter

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease four-12 cup mini muffin tins.  Mix the apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon together in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat; stirring occasionally.  Simmer until apples are partially cooked, about five minutes.  Remove from the heat.  Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, one teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg in a large bowl; cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pasty cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.  Place a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture into a mini muffin cup, and press it into the cup so that it covers the bottom and pushes up the sides of the cup.  Make the crust go all the way to the top of the little mini muffin cup, and patch any holes with more crust mixture.  There will be crust mixture leftover.  Place about two teaspoons of apple filling in the crust.  Sprinkle about one teaspoon of the remaining crust mixture on the filling.  Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown for fifteen to twenty minutes.
