Notes

This single serve apple crisp is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have any leftover you can cover the apple crisp and store it at room temperature for 1 day, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm in the microwave, or reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through and the topping is crisp again.
