1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8-ounce ramekins and set them on a baking sheet.
2

Make the filling: In a bowl, combine apples, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt; toss until well mixed. Divide the mixture between the prepared ramekins.
3

Prepare the topping: In a bowl, combine oats, flour, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt; mix until fully combined. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the filling in the ramekins.
4

Place the baking sheet with the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake until the apples are tender and the topping is lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
