Ever have craving for apple crisp, but you don’t have the time to bake a whole one? Or perhaps you want a single serving apple crisp and are searching for a quick dessert for one option. Enter: 5-Minute Apple Crisp.
This recipe comes together in a few minutes and cooks for just 3-4 minutes in the microwave!
To make it, you’ll need about 3 apples. I tend to save the half-eaten apples my kids leave around for their portions. If you have access to seconds of apples that’s a great, affordable option as well. I made this with MacIntosh apples, but right now at Weaver’s Orchard there are 16 varieties to pick and many more in our market! So many apples, so little time!

Instructions
Peel and chop the apples, place them in a microwave safe dish and pre-cook them in the microwave for a minute on high with a little water, lemon juice and a teaspoon of brown sugar. As it is cooking, mix together the butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and oats in a small bowl. Use a pastry blender or fork to make the mixture turn into coarse crumbles.
Remove the apples from the microwave and pour the crisp mixture on top. Microwave on high 2-3 minutes longer until the top is bubbly and brown. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
