Easy Apple Crisp for One (Oven or Microwave!)
This simple apple crisp for one is the perfect cozy fall dessert! I love making this individual apple crisp on a chilly evening. It uses just one apple and can be made in the microwave or the oven!
Equipment
Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 1 small apple, chopped into cubes
- ½ Tablespoon brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumble Topping
- 5 Tablespoons old fashioned oats
- 2½ Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- pinch of salt
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoon butter, softened (regular or vegan)
Optional
- vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for topping (regular or vegan)
Instructions
- If making these in the oven, preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃).
- Add chopped apple pieces to your ramekin. Add in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- In a medium bowl add the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter. Use your hands or a fork to mix everything together until it's fully combined.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly on top of the apple filling.
Oven Method
- Bake for 18-15 minutes. The top will be a very light golden brown.
Microwave Method
- Microwave for 90 seconds or up to 2½ minutes. This will largely vary depending on the strength of your microwave, so start at the lower time and then add more time as needed. The top will look cooked.
- Top the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (regular or vegan). Drizzle with caramel if desired and enjoy!
