Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 3-4 medium apples)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

For Assembly:

12 mini phyllo cups or graham cracker cups

Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour. Toss well until the apples are evenly coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to mingle.

      Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the cubed cold butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped nuts if using.

        Assemble the Cups: Place the mini phyllo or graham cracker cups on a baking sheet. Fill each cup with the apple mixture, packing it in lightly. Top generously with the crumble topping.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the apples are bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

            Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.

              Enjoy: Relish your delightful Baked Apple Crumble Cups and savor the comforting flavors of fall!
