Ingredients

Scale

Apple Mixture

  • 5 ounces apple (small apple, peeled or unpeeled, cored and diced)
  • ½ tablespoon butter (softened)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tablespoons butter (softened)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Core the apple, slice it, and cut into cubes. Peeling is optional based on your preference.
  2. Microwave Cooking Apples: Place the cubed apples and ½ tablespoon softened butter in a 12-16 ounce microwave-safe ramekin or mug. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then remove and stir. Microwave again for 30 seconds, remove, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and stir once more.
  3. Make the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, remaining cinnamon (¼ teaspoon), flour, and dark brown sugar. Mix well.
  4. Incorporate Butter into Topping: Add 1½ tablespoons softened butter to the oat mixture and stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  5. Assemble: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the cooked apple mixture in the mug or ramekin.
  6. Final Microwave Cooking: Return the mug to the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes to bake the crumble topping and further soften the apples.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the apple crumble cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can peel or leave the apple skin on depending on preference.
  • Use a microwave-safe ramekin or mug approximately 12-16 ounces in size to avoid overflow.
  • Letting the crumble rest for 5 minutes enhances flavor and texture.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled but requires a larger cooking vessel or multiple servings.
