Try this single-serve apple crumble you make in the microwave in minutes. Diced apple and cinnamon cook into a warm, saucy filling under a crisp oat and brown sugar crumb, for a quick, cozy, and perfect when you only have one apple.
Core the apple, slice and cut into cubes. You can peel the apples if you prefer.
5 ounce apple
Add the cubed apples and butter to a 12-16 ounce microwave-safe ramekin or mug and cook on high for 30 seconds: remove the mug and stir. Place the mug back into the microwave and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the mug, sprinkle with a little cinnamon and stir again.
½ tablespoon butter, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Note: You can fill the mug with the apples and as they cook the apples will sink into the mug.
Topping
Make the topping by combining the oatmeal, remaining cinnamon, flour and sugar in a small bowl. Stir this mixture.
2 tablespoons Old Fashioned Rolled Oats, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
Add the softened butter to the oatmeal mixture and stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly
1½ tablespoons butter
Put the topping mixture on top of the apples. Return the mug to the microwave and cook for 2 minutes, on high.
Let the apple cumble cool for about 5 minutes and serve warm.
