This is absolutely delicious! I baked this in the oven, of course. The microwave doesn't cook evenly enough for me. I tossed the apple slices in a mixture of 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon flour, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. I also drizzled caramel over the top and it turned out wonderfully! Thank you so much for this recipe! -
Thank you! Here I was today with one huge ripe pear begging to be used and not even a flicker of a memory exactly how to make it into a lovely crumble. Suddenly your recipe appeared on the horizon and poof.. just like that.. changed my entire life! Delicious. Well worth the 25 minute wait! -
I love this recipe. I have made it several times. It makes an amazing breakfast or a great dessert or snack. -
I've made this a couple times and forgot to review it. I love the small portion size of putting this in a ramekin. I found that the quantities in the recipe were enough for 2 small ramekins. I put cinnamon and sugar on the apples before placing into the ramekin because this is the way we do our apple pies. Love it with vanilla ice cream on top! -
simple and hit the spot. i used a food processor to slice the apples, kept the skin on, and baked it in the oven. whipped some heavy cream til stiff with a lil powdered sugar, and put it all in a mug with a big spoon. perfect weeknight treat.

I would recommend buttering the dish and sugaring the dish before adding the fruit. I might also add some nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon. Also, fresh ginger, grated is very good with pears. -
*accidental submit* I used gala apples and the microwave. I didn't have any of the oats I was supposed to use so I used maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal instead. I love oats and cinnamon so I used more than needed. I used a butter substitute instead of butter. It came out great and not overwhelmingly sweet. A bit tart from apples which I liked. Because I microwaved it the topping wasn't crisp, which I was aware of before I made it. I think it would be great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. -
This recipe is absolutely AMAZING! I tried it as a dessert and used a muesli instead of oats and it came out fantastic. I am definitely going to keep this recipe on hand! :D

I used a Braeburn apple and this was divine. Like a crust-less apple pie, without all the work. I tried it successfully in both the oven and the microwave. I also used old fashioned oats instead of instant. It needed a tad more butter to make it syrupy. Great quick recipe. I can't wait to try it with pears.
