Equipment

4 ea 1 cup Ramekins

Ingredients

4 ea Apples Washed, peeled, chopped
3/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
2 tsp Cinnamon Use Ceylon Cinnamon, REAL STUFF
1 tsp Ground Cardamon
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Ground Nutmeg Or grate it fresh
1/2 Cup Oats Old Fashioned
1/2 Cup AP Flour
1 tsp Vanilla Extract Use the good stuff
1 tbsp Bourbon Good Stuff
1/2 Cup Butter Real Stuff, ice cold and diced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
Butter the ramekins well, and set aside.
In a small bowl mix all the dry spices.
In a medium bowl, mix apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 the spice mix, bourbon, vanilla and the lemon juice.
In a separate mixing bowl, add the oats, the rest of the spices, flour, and butter.
Cut the butter into the topping mix with a pastry cutter. Looking for a very coarse, pea-like texture here.
Fill each ramekin 3/4 full with apple filling, and top with the oat mixture.
Bake for 45-60 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
Cool for 5 minutes, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and serve.

Notes

A basic "crisp" recipe, one can use other fruits, peaches in summer, pears, etc.

I've added my usual roguechef twist with the inclusion of a shot of bourbon in the filling. One can macerate the apples overnight for a more prominent taste infusion. One can also add raisins for a taste / texture difference
