½ tsp lemon juice

1 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp flour

1/2 tbsp of melted butter

1 tsp brown sugar

1bsp of flour

3 tbsp of old fashion oats

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/8 nutmeg

Directions 

Apple Filling:

  • Peel and core the apple, then cut into bite-sized chunks. 
  • Add apples to mug or bowl and toss with cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon, sugar (if using) and flour. 


Crisp Topping:

  • Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave for 15 seconds
  • Mix in butter with brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg
  1. Layer half the apple filling in a mug, then top with half the crisp mixture
  2. Pour the rest of the apples on top and top with the remaining crisp mixture
  3. Cook in the microwave for 2 ½ minute or until apples are tender and the crisp topping is bubbling
  4. Take it out, and cool for a few minutes and enjoy 

TIPS:  

  • Use gluten-free flour and gluten-free oats to make it gluten-free 
  • You can substitute the crisp topping by simply crumbling an apple cinnamon rice cake on top 
  • If you like a more tart flavour, use granny smith or for a sweeter flavour, use golden delicious apples. These two apples can withstand heat well.
