If you don’t have ramekins you can also use a small-medium sized baking dish instead, approximately l litre (35oz).
If you don’t have cinnamon sticks on hand, you can substitute with 1 tsp cinnamon powder instead
If you want to make this a low carb recipe you can substitute the maple syrup in the apple mixture with water (or more lemon juice) and you can omit the coconut sugar in the crumble mixture or add stevia powder.
