Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, combine diced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Toss to coat evenly and let sit for 5–10 minutes.
In another bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nuts (if using). Pour in melted butter and stir until crumbly.
Arrange phyllo cups on a baking sheet. Spoon apple mixture into each cup, filling about 3/4 full. Top with a tablespoon of crumble mixture.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the crumble is golden and the apple filling is bubbling slightly.
Cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Drizzle caramel sauce over the top before serving for extra richness.

For a nut-free version, replace nuts with sunflower seeds or omit them.

Mix in cranberries or blueberries with the apples for added flavor.

Add a pinch of cloves or cardamom for a deeper spice profile.

Use gluten-free oats and flour for a gluten-free version.
