This quick and easy apple crisp recipe is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Made in a mug, it's a single serving dessert that can be prepared in just a few minutes using simple ingredients. The warm and comforting flavors of baked apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar make this apple crisp a delightful treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 large apple, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
