prepare and cook apples:
Wash apples. No need to peel them.
Halve and core apples, then cut into ¾ inch chunks. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the sugar and spices.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons butter. Add apples; stir well. Cover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until juices are released and apples have begun to soften, about 10 minutes.
Uncover skillet; add cider; continue to simmer apples until juices have thickened, another 5-6 minutes.
crispy topping:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; add butter; work in with your fingers until mixture is crumbly. Use your hands to squeeze and press mixture together so that clumps form. This gets the butter fully incorporated and moistens the crumbs thoroughly. Break up large clumps into smaller pieces.
bake crisps:
Place six 6 to 8 oz. baking ramekins on a sheet pan; divide apples between them, getting some of the syrupy liquid in each remekin. Mound a generous amount of topping over each ramekin, pressing slightly to put more on.
Bake 25-30 minutes, until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown and crispy.
If desired, serve with vanilla ice cream.
