Ever have craving for apple crisp, but you don’t have the time to bake a whole one? Or perhaps you want a single serving apple crisp and are searching for a quick dessert for one option. Enter: 5-Minute Apple Crisp.
This recipe comes together in a few minutes and cooks for just 3-4 minutes in the microwave!
To make it, you’ll need about 3 apples. I tend to save the half-eaten apples my kids leave around for their portions. If you have access to seconds of apples that’s a great, affordable option as well. I made this with MacIntosh apples, but right now at Weaver’s Orchard there are 16 varieties to pick and many more in our market! So many apples, so little time!
