Note

Allow the crisp to cool for 5 minutes before serving, as it will be very hot coming out of the microwave.

For best texture, ensure the butter in the topping is softened but not melted before mixing with the dry ingredients.

If your microwave has lower wattage, you may need to add an extra minute or two to the cooking time. Check for tenderness by piercing an apple slice with a fork.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added decadence.
