Ingredients
Crisp Topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened (or vegan butter substitute)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons old-fashioned whole rolled oats use Certified Gluten Free Whole Rolled Oats if necessary
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or Certified All-Purpose Gluten-Free Baking Blend
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch salt optional and to taste
Apple Base Layer
- 1 medium apple diced in about 1/4-inch cubes (I did not peel mine, peel if you wish; I used Fuji, use any variety you like)
- ½ tablespoon unsalted butter or vegan butter substitute
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- optionally add pinches ground ginger pumpkin pie spice, cloves, allspice based on taste preference
Instructions
- Make the Crumble Topping
- In a small bowl, combine all crumble topping ingredients and stir together with a fork until small pebbles and sandy crumbs form; set aside.
- Make the Apple Base Layer
- In a small to medium-sized microwave-safe bowl or baking dish, add apples and top with butter. Don’t use an overly shallow dish because the apples will release juices, the butter melts, and it will rise and puff in the microwave, and it will overflow if bowl is too shallow.
- Cook for 1 minute on high power to soften apples.
- Remove bowl from micro and add the sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, optional salt, optional other spices, and stir to combine and coat evenly.
- Evenly sprinkle with the crumble topping.
- Cook for about 2 minutes on high power, until juicy, bubbly, and topping is set. Due to variance in microwaves, climate, apples and their variable moisture content, cooking times could range from 1 1/2 minutes to slightly over 2 minutes. Start watching it carefully at 1 1/2 minutes and stop cooking when done; don’t overcook.
- Serve immediately. Optionally serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
- Crumble is best warm and fresh, but leftover portion will keep airtight for up to 3-4 days. You can store the extra at room temp but the fridge is also fine.
- Optionally serve with ice cream, whipped topping, or caramel sauce.
- A Note About the Nutrition Stats - This is a generous portion of dessert for 1 person (I can't finish it all and alway share half) so if you share it, or eat it between two sittings, the stats reduce, in half. It's a treat, not something one eats daily, and therefore the stats reflect that.
