Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice the apple into wedges. Slice each wedge into 1/8-inch thick pieces. Place apple into a bowl. Add sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Combine.
- Place the butter in a small microwaveable plate. Microwave for 20 seconds to melt.
- Meanwhile, spray a 1-cup capacity microwavable ramekin or mug with cooking spray. Add apple. Mound apple as high as you can without overflowing. They will cook down. There may be some excess depending on how large the apple was.
- Remove the plate of butter from the microwave. Place the apple in the microwave. Cook for 2 1/2 minutes.
- While the apple cooks, add the remaining crumb topping ingredients to the melted butter. Mix to form wet coarse crumbs. Spread crumbs into an even layer on a paper or microwaveable plate.
- After the apple has cooked for 2 1/2 minutes, place the crumb topping plate beside the apple filling. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir the crumb topping to prevent the sugar from burning. Cook one more cycle for 30 seconds. Stir crumb topping. Microwave for 20 additional seconds (30 seconds may be too long, and the sugar in the crumb topping may start to burn).
- Remove content from microwave. Place crumb topping over apple and serve (with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, optional).
Notes
- If you use a tart apple, increase the granulated sugar slightly to offset the tartness.
- Adjust the cooking time to suit your personal preference for the firmness of the apple. Also, cooking time may vary depending on the variety of the apple, as some are softer than others. The type of apple used and the cooking time in this recipe cook the apple until tender but with a slight bite.
- The cooking time is based on a 1000 W microwave oven and may vary depending on the power of your microwave.

Oh yes I can definitely relate to wanting apple crisp, but the work that comes with it is too much. So thank you Thao for simplifying this yummy recipe and making it soooooo much quicker and easier to make. You know you just gave me a great breakfast idea for this morning, so goodbye toaster…hello apple crisp��
I'm so glad that I can give you easy access to apple crisp, Ashika! LOL! I'm loving your apple crisp for breakfast idea!!
Thanks for the apple crisp recipe. This is my favorite one too and it's quick and easy to prepare. Let's try this delicious egg recipe and go with 10 seconds less than your time with microwave bowl.
Thank you. The microwave bowl sounds wonderful!!
i used to microwave apples + cinnamon + sugar as an afternoon snack when i was younger. but this sounds 23409x better because of that crumble!!!
It sounds like a delicious recipe, particularly cause it's fast. A perfect quick treat to really feet in autumn 😉
That's a tasty little afternoon snack, Heather! But it is amazing what a little crumble will do! 🙂
I love how quickly it comes together compared to the conventional method. And this time of year, apple crisp seems to be the thing I'm craving all the time!
You do realize how dangerous this is right?! I'm going to be making this all of the time!! Except I'll have to double it, as there's no way my husband would let me get away with making it for "one" 😉
I know! It's deadly! But this can be our one and only vice, and this one is husband approved as long as they can partake! ????
It's been years since I got rid of my microwave, and I haven't missed it until now! (I replaced with a proper hood.) I am now jealous of your 5 minute crisp. 🙁
Thao this is awesome!! My boyfriend doesn't really like apple dessert (i know blasphemy) so this is perfect just for me. And so easy! I can't wait to try it 🙂
I would love to share my apple crisp with you! But now I'm jealous because I don't have a proper hood! ????
Thanks Danielle!! The bright side is since you don't have to waste precious time making a second crisp for him, you can dig into yours sooner!????
I do love my proper hood! Sear a steak and instead of shutting off the smoke alarms, WHOOSH and all the smoke and steam are outside. I'll have to share this crisp recipe with my parents. They have a microwave and would love a quick fruit dessert recipe.
I love the sound of that hood!! I have done my share of fanning the smoke detector with kitchen towels! ???? I'm so glad you are going to try this out with your parents. I hope you all will like it!!!
This was a little sweet for me but didn’t stop me from eating it all (my husband had 3 bites). My apple may have been a sweet variety, not sure which kind it was. Maybe I’ll toss the slices in a little lemon juice first next time & add a smidgeon more cinnamon. Overall, not bad for microwave.
Thanks for trying the recipe! It could be the apple you used. If you decide to make it again, try reducing the amount of sugar slightly in the recipe to suit your taste 🙂
