Ingredients
- 4 large apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
- In a microwave-safe baking dish, combine the sliced apples, flour, and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples in the baking dish.
- Microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy. The cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave, so keep an eye on it.
- Remove from the microwave and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The apple crisp will continue to crisp up as it cools.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
