Microwave Mug Apple Crisp Recipe
Description
This Microwave Mug Apple Crisp recipe layers peeled, diced apples tossed lightly in cinnamon, flour, and sugar inside a microwave-safe mug. A crumbly topping made from oats, chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt is spooned on top. Microwaving for 2 to 2.5 minutes cooks the apples until bubbling and tender and crisps the streusel topping slightly. The cooking time varies by microwave wattage and mug size.
The finished apple crisp offers soft cooked fruit with a sweet, nutty, and slightly crunchy streusel that contrasts nicely in texture. Serving warm, it pairs well with vanilla ice cream for added richness and temperature contrast.
This recipe is convenient for single servings with minimal mess and quick preparation. It can be made up to 24 hours in advance and reheated gently, making it suitable for parties or quick snacks.
