5-Minute Microwave Apple Cinnamon Crumble For One (vegan, gluten-free)
"Buttery apples are tossed with cinnamon-and-sugar and nutmeg, and the crumble topping is made with cinnamon, brown sugar, and oats. The recipe is pleasantly, but more boldly spiced from the cinnamon and nutmeg. If you prefer less of a pop from the spices, dial them down, to taste. Or work in others such as pumpkin pie spice, ginger, cloves, or allspice. The crumble cooks in just a couple minutes and turns juicy, bubbly, rich, and caramely. The brown sugar and butter caramelizes, creating a thick sauce which coats the apples. Make sure to use a deep enough baking dish to allow for expansion so none of the sweetly spiced sauce overflows...."
