Introduction: 8 - Minute Microwave Apple Pie
Step 1: Prep.
- 3 good sized apples
- 2/3 cup of packed brown sugar
- 2/3 cup of oats (whole or regular)
- 1/2 cup of bisquick mix
- 3 tablespoons of soft butter
- 3/4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoons of nutmeg....
- 1 fruit peeler
- 1 8 in. pyrex (or other microwave safe) dish
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 apple slicer
- 1 bowl
Step 2: The Hard Part... :-[
This is definitely the hardest part of the cooking process...
Peeling the skins off the apples...
First, start by washing all of the apples in cold water.
Then, grab your fruit peeler, and start peeling from one side until you've gone all the way around the apple.
Now that you have finished peeling the apples, get the apple slicer and place it in the middle of the apple, as in picture 5.
Next, with a little aggressive force push down with two hands to slice the entire apple, as in picture 6.
Finally, place your sliced apples in the pyrex dish, picture 7.
Step 3: Mixing
Remember to mix these ingredients:
- 2/3 cup of packed brown sugar
- 2/3 cup of oats (whole or regular)
- 1/2 cup of bisquick mix
- 3 tablespoons of soft butter
- 3/4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoons of nutmeg
(tip) Use your wooden spoon to mix ingredients quicker.
Step 4: The Final Stretch...
Next, you will need to pour the contents of your mixing bowl onto the apples, see picture 1.
Then, place the pirex dish into the microwave for about 8-9 minutes.
After, the pie is done, take it out of the microwave and let it cool off for about two minutes, see picture 2.
Then, it's ready to serve...
I normally serve in a small bowl with ice cream. (see picture 3)

Made this tonight and it was EXCELLENT! Only needed 1/2 cup of the brown sugar and rolled oats though (trying to save calories, hee hee!), and found that you can add the butter cold, just like you do when baking in a conventional oven :) Thanks for the great 'ible!

This was VERY delicous! (Even though i cheated and used pie filling =}) The "crust" is the perfect texture to appeal to the apples. And waddaya know? Ice cream made it EVEN BETTER! Keep up the great instructables TMDTK!

Do the Bisquick and the oatmeal together make something that resembles a crust?

It's really more of an apple crumble than an apple pie.

Taste, yes! Appearance, no.
