Photo by: Laura LushingtonMicrowave Apple Crisp for One
1 or 2 apples (depending on size), peeled and sliced
3 Tbsp. rolled oats (not instant)
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. flax seed meal (optional)
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1 Tbsp. melted butter
Instructions: Slice your apples really thin so they are easily cooked in the microwave. Spread them evenly in the bottom of a small bowl. Combine dry ingredients and stir in melted butter. Sprinkle topping over fruit.
Microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes or until apples are tender.
If you want to make a vegan version of this recipe, use 1 ½ – 2 Tbsp. of melted Earth Balance spread instead of the 1 Tbsp. of melted butter.
Bon appétit!
