Ingredients
- 1 apple, diced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 diced apple, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of oats, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- In a microwave-safe mug, add the diced apple. Ensure the apple is evenly diced for consistent cooking.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the diced apple in the mug. Stir gently to coat the apple pieces evenly with the sugar and spice mixture.
- Next, add the oats to the mug. This will provide a nice texture and crunch to your apple crisp.
- Pour the melted butter over the oats and apple mixture. Use a fork or spoon to mix everything together until well combined.
- Once mixed, place the mug in the microwave. Cook on high for about 2 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflowing.
- After 2 minutes, carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Allow it to cool for a minute before serving.
- Your Cinnamon Apple Crisp in a Mug is now ready to enjoy! You can serve it as is or top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Tips
- Choose the Right Apple: Opt for firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
- Dice Consistently: Ensure your apple pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Don't Overfill: Leave some space at the top of the mug to prevent overflow during microwaving.
- Watch Carefully: Microwave times can vary, so keep an eye on your crisp to prevent burning.
- For Extra Indulgence: Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Customize Your Crisp: Experiment with adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or a handful of chopped nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
