Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Apple (Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Almonds (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 scoop per serving Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then dice them into bite-sized pieces.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of the all-purpose flour. Mix thoroughly to coat the apples.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for about 15-20 seconds. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, sliced almonds, and orange zest until a crumbly mixture forms.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the first bowl.
Microwave the entire dish on high power for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is bubbling and slightly golden. Check at the 5-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot). Allow the crisp to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired, and enjoy your Microwave Apple Crisp a La California!
