Description

Curb that apple crisp craving in no time with this Microwave Apple Crisp For One. Dreams of digging into the hot cinnamon apple and a crunchy crumb topping can come true in ten minutes. Best of all, it tastes exactly like oven-baked!

Ingredients

• 1 8-ounce apple (I prefer to use a combo of 1/2  Gala and 1/2 McIntosh apples)
• 3/4 teaspoon granulated sugar, or to taste
• 1/8 rounded teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 scant teaspoon flour
• cooking spray

Crumb Topping:

• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon quick cooking oatmeal
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• a tiny pinch of baking powder
• a tiny pinch of salt

Suggested supplies (affiliate links):

• Ramekins
• Small BPA Free Cutting Board

Instructions

1. 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.
2. Place the butter in a small microwaveable plate. Microwave for 20 seconds to melt. 
3. 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.
4. Remove the plate of butter from the microwave. Place the apple in the microwave. Cook for 2 1/2 minutes. 
5. 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.
6. 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). 
7. 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.
