I have a surplus of apples and want to make several apple crisps -
baked sweetened apples with a crumb topping made with butter, sugar,
flour, and oatmeal. Something along these lines:

albeit with a little bit of tapioca added so that the juice exuded by
the apples thickens.
The question I have concerns freezing them - I want to freeze several
of the crisps for later enjoyment. Is there any problem with baking
them, freezing them after they've cooled, then using a microwave to
thaw them later? Should I freeze them partially baked or unbaked and
bake them when I'm ready to unfreeze them?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Unbaked, then add as much as 50% baking time when baking from frozen
state. They'll taste like fresh-made.

Have you ever frozen a fresh apple? When thawed, it turns to mush.
'course, I've never baked one from the frozen state.
I'd say bake a crisp and test-freeze one piece to see how well it thaws.
