For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crumble topping. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it turns a nutty brown color. Let it cool slightly before using. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream takes this simple dessert to the next level. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, for a unique flavor profile. Adjust the microwave time based on your microwave's power. The crisp is ready when the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to make multiple servings.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the sugar until well combined. (2 minutes)
02
StepAdd the flour, oats, a pinch of cinnamon, and salt to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. (1 minute)
03
StepLightly grease a microwave-safe mug with butter or cooking spray. Press half of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of the mug to create a base crust. (1 minute)
04
StepMicrowave the mug on High for 30 seconds to set the crust. (30 seconds)
05
StepRemove the mug from the microwave. Arrange the apple slices evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with brown sugar and the remaining cinnamon. Drizzle water over the apples. Gently mix the apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon, being careful not to disturb the bottom crust too much. (3 minutes)
06
StepSprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling. (1 minute)
07
StepMicrowave on 60% power for 1 minute and 50 seconds, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. (1 minute 50 seconds)
08
StepLet the mug cool for at least 1 minute before serving. This allows the crisp to set slightly and prevents burning your mouth. (1 minute)
