Warm apple crisp for one with a buttery oat and pecan topping, cooked in the microwave in about 2 minutes.

Ingredients

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 oz/45 g) butter melted
  • 4 tablespoons oats
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Apple filling

  • 1 small apple peeled and diced
  • 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

  • Stir the oats, flour, pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping together, then stir in the melted butter.
  • Toss the diced apple with the filling flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Put the apple in a microwave-safe mug (6 to 8 ounces) and spoon the topping over it.
  • Microwave 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, until the filling bubbles and the apple softens.
  • Let it cool a few minutes before eating, since it gets very hot.

Notes

Times are for a 1,200-watt microwave. You can assemble it up to 24 hours ahead and keep it in the refrigerator. To pack a gift mix, put the topping's dry ingredients in one small bag and the filling's flour, sugar, and cinnamon in another, and list the butter and apple on the label.
