Quickie Crisp

Whether you're a working mom or a college student who swears by the microwave, this is the perfect dessert when you don't want to spend time slaving over a hot stove.

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 17-20 min
Ready In: 27-30 min
Makes: 4 servings


INGREDIENTS:

3 apples – thinly sliced
2/3 & 1/4 C melted butter
1 C sugar
1 C oats
2/3 C all-purpose flour
1-1/2 & 1/4 tsp cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

Spread apple slices in the bottom of an 8” x 8” glass baking dish. In a small glass measuring cup, melt 1/4 C butter. Stir 1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon into 1/4 C melted butter; drizzle over apple slices. Microwave apple slices for 4 minutes on high.

While apples slices are in the microwave, mix the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl: 2/3 C melted butter, 1 C sugar, 1 C oats, 2/3 C flour, 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon. Stir apple slices and spread oat mixture on top. Microwave on high for 10 minutes.

While crisp is in the microwave, preheat the oven to 450° F. After removing dish from microwave, place in oven for 5 additional minutes. (You can just microwave it for an additional 3 minutes, but the time in the oven gives it a better crispness.)

Let cool for 5 minutes and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
