Ginger and Whiskey Single Serving Apple Crisp

This single serving apple crisp (or double serving, if you're feeling generous) is made with one apple and flavored with a healthy dose of whiskey and ginger. It's easy to make gluten-free by using gluten-free oats.

Ingredients

  • 1 large apple (or 2 small) - tart baking apples such as Pink Ladies or Granny Smith are ideal, but any apple will work
  • 2 tablespoon whiskey*
  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger divided
  • 3 tablespoon butter very soft or melted
  • 1 cup gluten-free oats
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Slice apple into even slices – I leave the skin on, but you can peel the apples if you want.
  • In an oven-safe bowl or 5-6 inch baking dish, toss the apple, the whiskey and half the ginger.
  • If your butter is fresh from the fridge, go ahead and put it in the microwave for 20 seconds. It’s ok if it melts.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ginger, butter, oats, brown sugar and salt. I use my hands to mush it together.
  • Crumble the topping over the apple slices in your bowl or baking dish.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the topping is golden brown.

Notes

*Gluten does not survive distillation, so any high-quality whiskey without added colors or flavors should be safe for someone on a gluten-free diet. To be extra sure, I used a Millet Whiskey from Koval Distillery, a local Chicago company whose whiskey is available online.
