Ingredients
Apples
- 4 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
Topping
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup quick cooking oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples evenly. Spread the sliced apples in an 8-inch square microwave-safe baking dish to form an even layer.
- Make the Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, quick cooking oats, all-purpose flour, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and allspice. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a crumbly topping mixture.
- Assemble Crisp: Evenly sprinkle the prepared topping mixture over the layer of apples, covering the fruit completely to ensure a crispy top.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the baking dish in the microwave and cook on high power for 10 to 12 minutes. The apple filling is done when the apples are tender and can be easily pierced with a knife, and the topping is crisp on the surface.
- Serve Warm: Remove from microwave carefully and allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping for an extra indulgent dessert.
Notes
- You can also bake this apple crisp in a deep-dish pie plate if you prefer using an oven instead of a microwave.
- For best texture, use Granny Smith apples as they hold their shape and provide a tart contrast to the sweet topping.
- Serve immediately after cooking for the best experience, or reheat gently if desired.
