Fine. You’re in a rush. You have 30 seconds. Here’s how to survive the microwave without ruining your crisp completely.
Use 50% power. High power will destroy the texture. Microwave for 30 seconds, then check. If it’s not hot, do another 15 seconds. Then immediately put the plate under a broiler for 1 minute (if you have one). This adds a flash of dry heat to crisp the topping back up. It’s a hack, not a solution.
And for the love of all things dessert, don’t cover it with a wet paper towel. That’s what your enemy wants you to do.
