Whole baked apples are great but if you want to have a little more fun the fast and easy way, try this recipe I adapted to make a microwave apple crisp. It takes me about 10 minutes to make it. I love the crispness and sweetness of granola on top, as opposed to the slight cardboard taste I get from quick-cooking oats that somehow never cook enough. Go for the granola! — FM
Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples large, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup granola (your favorite brand)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice

Instructions
- Spread the apples evenly in an 8-inch square glass baking dish. A deep dish glass pie plate will also work. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, granola, flour, cinnamon, and allspice. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the apples.
- Cook on full power in the microwave for 10 to 12 minutes, until apples can easily be pierced with a knife. Enjoy!
Can you prep an apple crisp the day before?
I’d say so. Cover well and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Oh my gosh, this was so yummy!! I made it once exactly as written and my family loved it. Then later, I scaled it down to one serving as best as I could (for just me) and it was even better! So super quick & easy… A keeper for sure in my book!
