Apple Crisp in a Mug

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine softened butter and white sugar using your fingers until well mixed. Add flour, oats, one pinch of cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

2. 2

   Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug. Place half of the oat crumble mixture in the bottom of the mug and press down gently to form a crust layer.
3. 3

   Microwave the crust on high power for 30 seconds to set it and prevent it from getting soggy.

4. 4

   Layer the thinly sliced apple pieces over the crust. Sprinkle with brown sugar and the remaining pinch of cinnamon. Add water and gently mix the apple mixture, being careful not to disturb the bottom crust. Top with the remaining crumble mixture.

5. 5

   Microwave on 60% power for 1 minute and 50 seconds. Let cool for about 1 minute before serving to avoid burning your tongue and allow the filling to set slightly.
