Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup melted butter
- 3 ½ cups peeled and sliced apples
- 1 ½ cups blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease a microwave-safe 2-quart casserole dish.
- Mix flour, brown sugar, oats, graham cracker crumbs, and cinnamon together in a bowl; stir in butter until well mixed. Press 1/2 the oat mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Spread apples and blueberries over oat mixture; drizzle with lemon juice.
- Stir white sugar and cornstarch together in a microwave-safe bowl; mix in water and vanilla extract until smooth. Heat sugar mixture in the microwave, stirring every 45 seconds, until sauce is thick and nearly clear, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour sauce over fruit layer and sprinkle remaining oat mixture over top.
- Heat in microwave at 70 percent power until fruit is tender and juice is bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
- Can use frozen blueberries that are thawed and drained.

Turned out great. I didn’t have any graham crackers so I substituted Vanilla waver crumbs.
Recipe was great. I cooked it in the oven at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Recipe was great. I cooked it in the oven at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Had some leftover raspberries so I added those too. This is a very tasty dessert with a super crunch.
Easy and delicious!
Especially good served warm with vanilla icecream
Made this exactly as the recipe called for. My husband loved it, in fact he ate almost half of it within the first few hours of it coming out of the oven. We will definitely be making this again!
Prior to making It, I perused the 3 other reviews. One noted it to be soggy. I made it using 3/4 cup of water and was making it for guests we were entertaining, finding it easier to do the final cook in the oven rather than tending to it in the microwave. I cooked it at 350 F for about 35 minutes. Turned out very well, not soggy. All of us thought it was delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
This was delicious!!
I’ve made this a few times and it’s very good. I didn’t realize until I was in the process of making it that it is cooked in the microwave. It’s very easy to make. I’ve switched apples with peaches a few times. I don’t think it needs the white sugar, especially if you use peaches. The leftovers get really soggy, so I pop each serving in the microwave again.
Super easy recipe….and super tasty!! I followed the recipe, exactly as it said. I did have to add time, to allow it to cook, but my microwave is getting old. Thanks for the great recipe…I will make it again!!
