Instructions:

1. Begin by placing the apples in a 1-quart casserole dish and sprinkle them with the tantalizing freshness of lemon juice. 🍋✨
2. Microwave these beauties on high until they reach that perfect balance of tender-crisp, typically taking around 2 1/2 to 4 minutes. Alternatively, if you prefer a more traditional approach, you can cook them on the stovetop in a pot.
3. While your apples reach their ideal texture, let’s prepare the crumbly, golden topping that will elevate this dish to new heights of deliciousness. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients: brown sugar, quick-cooking oats, old fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, margarine, butter, ground cinnamon, and a hint of ground nutmeg.
4. Pop this delightful mixture into the microwave on high until it’s hot and bubbly, which usually takes about 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes. Don’t forget to give it a stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure everything melds together beautifully. Alternatively, if you prefer to embrace the stovetop method, feel free to do so with equal success.
5. Once your topping is ready and waiting, spread it lovingly over the tender apples, ensuring each slice is enveloped in its irresistible goodness. 😍
6. It’s now time to bring everything together in a harmonious symphony of flavor and texture. Microwave the assembled masterpiece on high until the apples are tender and the topping is gloriously bubbly, typically taking around 4 to 6 minutes. Or, if you’re opting for a more traditional approach, preheat your oven to 350°F and let it work its magic for 15 to 20 minutes. This is particularly handy if you’re using the oven for your main course and need to time things just right.
7. Finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived! Serve this delightful creation warm, allowing the aroma to tantalize your senses as you indulge in each blissful bite. For an extra touch of indulgence, pair it with a generous scoop of your favorite ice cream or frozen yogurt. 🍨🍦
