MICROWAVE APPLE CRISP

I don't usually like 'baking' with the microwave, but this recipe works great. The topping comes out crispy on top, moist inside, and delicious all around. It's a wonderful dessert that's quick and easy to make. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

PAMPERED CHEF STYLE APPLE CRISP (FOR MICROWAVE OR OVEN)



Pampered Chef Style Apple Crisp (For Microwave or Oven) image

This is one of the recipes that was served at the very first Pampered Chef party I attended, back in 1994. It is a very easy recipe (the hardest part is prepping the apple slices) and can be made in either microwave or the oven. I have made it both ways and prefer the oven version, but it is awfully nice that this can also be tossed into the microwave for a last minute dessert on busy nights. The demonstrator had a handy tip for the apples: After she ran them through the apple peeler/slicer gizmo they sell, she dropped them into a bowl filled with a can of lemon-lime soda (like Sprite) - and then drained them and patted them dry before using in this recipe. This way the apples didn't turn all sludgy brown before she was ready to demonstrate the recipe itself. I am allowing a large amount of prep time for those of you who don't own one of the PC apple gizmos - once your apples are ready, it only takes about 5 minutes to prepare the crisp for baking.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -6 large tart baking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly (such as Granny Smith)
8 graham cracker squares (2 1/2 inches each)
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup rolled oats (such as Quaker old fashioned or quick oats, not instant)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
whipped cream (optional) or ice cream, garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • You will need a 12" round stoneware baking pan for this recipe (such as the Pampered Chef deep dish baker).
  • Use enough apple slices to fill the stoneware pan 3/4s full (amount will vary depending upon your apples).
  • Finely chop the graham cracker squares and mix with oats,brown sugar,flour, and spices.
  • Add melted butter and mix well.
  • Spoon this mixture over the apple slices.
  • MICROWAVE method: Microwave on high 12-15 minutes or until apple are tender, turning dish after 6 minutes.
  • OVEN method: Preheat oven to 350°F and bake 30-35 minutes or until apples are tender.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream, as desired.
  • Cool slightly and serve while still warm.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your apple crisp a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will make them easier to eat and will help the crisp to cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice your apples. This will help to prevent them from browning.
  • Toss the apples with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg before baking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a mixture of butter and flour to make the topping. This will give the crisp a crispy and golden brown crust.
  • Bake the apple crisp until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the apple crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This will make it even more delicious!

Conclusion:

Apple crisp is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tart apples, crispy topping, and warm spices, it's the perfect comfort food for any occasion.
