Dorothy's Single Mug Microwave Apple Crisp

---

Toby's Mom, Grandma Dorothy, was a caterer, so cooking and food was always a centerpiece of home life. She was also immensely and taught the kids to cook early, so she could take a break. 

This is a simple recipe makes a single serving of Apple Crisp using a fresh apple and kids can do most of the work (for small kids, you can slice the apple and let them chop it up with a butter knife). 

You don't have to peel the apples:   I won't mention which of the siblings told his kids "if you eat the apple skins, you will get vitamins A & C and will be able to see at night", and thus never had to peel another apple for his kids again, PARENTING WIN!!!                                                   

• 1  apple any variety you like, sliced or chopped
• 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon flour
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar 
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix these together in a small bowl

• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine (unmelted)

Blend these together in a small bowl, this is fun for kids to take a fork and mash the flour, sugar and cinnamon into the butter. (little kids can chant "mash mash mash" as they blend it into the  butter)                 

• First layer 1/2 the apple filling 
• Second layer 1/2 the topping
• Third later the other 1/2 of the apple filling
• Fourth layer the other 1/2 of the topping

• Microwave on high for 3 minutes
• Let cool for a few minutes because it will be hot
• Enjoy

(If no one is looking, peak in the freezer and see if there is ice cream or cool whip to add on top to enjoy complete decadance)
