Note

Allow the crisp to cool for a few minutes after microwaving as the juices will be very hot.

For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure the oats are certified gluten-free.

You can substitute Jonathan apples with other baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp if preferred.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

If using a microwave with lower wattage, you may need to add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.
