I saw a recipe online
recently for an apple crisp cooked in a microwave. Being a cook who
doesn't always want to take a long time for cooking and preparation, I decided
to try it. The flavor was delicious, however, it turned out that the topping
wasn't really crispy. It was a simple recipe to which I added a couple of
ingredients I thought would add to the dish. I was right. It turned
out well, like an apple pie without the crust.
The topping is chewy and the
inside was soft and juicy. I used 3 huge Stayman apples that I got from a local farmer's market over the weekend. They are sweet and tart all at the same
time. Actually, they were so large, they measured almost five cups. You can use Granny Smith as the
original recipe called for or other cooking apples. Enjoy.
Ingredients
4 cups apples, peeled, cored
and sliced
Juice of one lemon
¼ tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground coriander
For the topping
½ cup melted butter
¾ cup quick cooking oats
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground allspice
In large bowl place sliced
or cut-up apples. Add lemon juice, cardamom, nutmeg and coriander. Mix well together
with wooden spoon.
Place apples in an 8 inch
square baking dish or a deep dish glass pie plate. In another bowl, mix together the melted
butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, oats and flour. Spread this topping evenly over the apples.
Cook in microwave on high
power for 10-12 minutes until apples are soft.
Let cool so topping will set.
Serve with ice cream or use a dollop of sour cream.
