Get ready for the Fall season with this autumnal apple crisp in a mug, microwaved or baked to perfection. If you choose to microwave the crisp, your dessert is ready in just three minutes! This easy treat is sweet, rich, buttery, warming, and best of all, welcomes Fall in with its tender apples and crisp topping.

The best apples to use for this easy recipe are Granny Smith, Gala, Braeburn, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, or, ​​Jonagold. Brown sugar can be used in place of coconut sugar, but don't replace rolled oats for quick oats – you'll taste the difference. If you want the gluten-free option, swap all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour using the same ratios.

Be sure the mug you use for your crisp is microwave and/or oven safe, and enjoy immediately! If you have leftovers or want to make the crisps ahead of time, they will last in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
