Quick Apple Crisp for One (in a Mug)

My family has a sweet tooth.

I don't always want to make a huge batch of cookies, cake, whatever...

because I will eat them...ALL!

I am also trying to healthy up our kitchen (I am always doing that)...

so the other day me son was asking for a treat...

and I decided to try this out...and he loved it (and so do I)...

so naturally I want to share our new recipe for Quick Apple Crisp in a Mug!

Ingredients

• 1 small to medium Apple (I used Granny Smith), cored and chopped
• 1 teaspoon (maybe 2) honey
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (adjust this is you like less or more cinnamon)
• A sprinkle of ground ginger
• 2 Tablespoons Granola (I used Bear Naked Vanilla Almond)

"Bake it!"

• Wash your apple
• Core the apple

• Chop it. I chopped mine coarsely but all the pieces are about equally size so that they cook similarly. I also left the peel on.

• Place the apple in a microwave safe mug.
• Drizzle honey on top of apple,

• Sprinkle cinnamon and if desired ground ginger.
• Gently stir/toss to incorporate the ingredients.

• Microwave for 1 minute.
• NOTE: Microwaves all cook differently and everyone has different preferences for their apple - so you can add time. My apples are soft but not mushy after 1 minute.
• Remove from the microwave.
• Add Granola. Stir in the granola if you like and dig in!

Have you ever microwaved dessert in a mug?
