Yum! There is a lot to like about this crisp, starting with it is easy to scale back and bakes in custard cups. We enjoy really sweet desserts which this is and we loved the addition of pecans. Made almost as written forgot to add the cinnamon oh well we thoroughly enjoyed anyway and used Splenda brown in place of the brown sugar. Those were the only two changes. Will make again. Thanks so much for the post. -
I scaled this back to 3.5 - 4 serves and used 3 granny smith apples and halved the brown sugar and used a sugar free maple syrup and subbed slivered almond for the pecans and it was still plenty sweet for us (would honestly omit the sugar from the apples and cut them chunkier as they were too soft for us with a small chop - personal preference). The biggest issue I had was the topping as 3 tablespoons of butter made it more like a shortcrust pastry than a crumble topping and I had to add about another 1/2 cup of flour to get it to a crumble consistency so will cut that back to 1 tablespoon of butter as spooning all the crumble mix over that I made, made the topping too thick and took a longer time cooking through). Thanks AZPARZYCH for a recipe I will make again especially as I can pre-make it early in the day and just pop in the oven when required, but with adjustments to suit us (would also like to try different nuts as well), made for Every Day a Holiday.

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
