Hi duckyjuk I hope this site is useful to you http://www.microwaveassociation.org.uk/recipes/recipes/apple_crumble.htm BM
This is a nice one that I’ve done before from allrecipes.co.uk: [FONT="]The topping comes out crispy on top, moist inside - simply delicious! It's a dessert that's quick and easy to make, too. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or natural yogurt. [/FONT] [FONT="]Ingredients [/FONT] [FONT="]4 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced[/FONT] [FONT="]115g butter, melted[/FONT] [FONT="]165g brown sugar[/FONT] [FONT="]65g porridge oats[/FONT] [FONT="]50g plain flour[/FONT] [FONT="]1 tsp ground cinnamon[/FONT] [FONT="]1/2 tsp allspice[/FONT] [FONT="]Preparation method [/FONT] [FONT="]1. Spread the apples evenly in a square glass baking dish or deep-sided microwave-safe dish. [/FONT] [FONT="]2. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon and allspice. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the apples. [/FONT] [FONT="]3. Cook on full power in the microwave for 10 to 12 minutes, until apples can easily be pierced with a knife. Enjoy[/FONT]
Nice one Hartley - I have always enjoyed crumble toppings with the oatmeal rather than without - it does give that extra crunch
Well for apples cooked, I just peel & slice mine as normal but into a pyrex bowl. I add 1 desertsppon of water & cover & cook for 2 mins.. I then keep doing them on 1 or 2 minute bursts till I get the consistency I want for whatever recipe.. So then, to my apple pulp I then add sugar & spices to taste.. But for a pie I use this recipe.. Surely you could convert this for your micrco so that it is browned by the grill perhaps..????
