The addition of lemon zest and lemon juice add brightness to the crisp and set it apart from standard apple crisps. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream.

This recipe looks divine – I love desserts that use fresh ingredients like apple. Can’t wait to try these in the individual ramekins, a really great idea to spruce it up!
the lemon is green or yellow?
Has anyone made this recipe ahead of time, freezing until ready to serve? Was the recipe successful after freezing?
I am sorry, I fixed it but for some reason the changes didn’t save, I think it did now.
Hi can you please resubmit this recipe specifying which part is for apple mixture and which part is for crisp and what to do with it – it sounds great but is very unclear
Maybe it’s me, sorry I think it’s still unclear…. 🙁
It should be better now.
I updated the recipe and I believe it is clear now.
I find this recipe unclear. The ingredients aren’t listed in order. Do the nutmeg and cinnamon get mixed with the apples or are they part of the topping/crumble?
I am sure this is delicious, but unfortunately the recipe is unclear. What exactly is being included in the crumble? Is the cinnamon included in the apple mixture, because it does not say so. please make the recipe clearer. thank you very much. And how do you suggest it be kept warm on friday night?
