How to make Apple Crumble in a Cup

My kids are sort of obsessed with mug cakes. So when my son mentioned that he wanted to figure out how to make apple crumble in a cup I knew we had to give it a go.

Usually for a snack I grab one of my energy balls or granola bars but there’s something about a cooked apple that really hits the spot some days. This is healthy enough to have as a snack, but if you want to make it more of a dessert feel free to add some plant-based ice cream on top.

What’s great about this is that it’s naturally gluten-free, and completely whole food plant based since it doesn’t use any refined sugar or oil. Yes, it's high in sugars - but remember that they are natural sugars and come packed with fibre so they release slowly in your digestive system. If you want it a bit more filling you can double the oats - that’s how my son likes it.

If you want to add some nuts to this it would give it an extra crunch. Feel free to toss some dried fruit in as well. Pear would work beautifully as a substitute for apple as well as any other harder fruit. Swap out the cinnamon for cocoa powder! You do you!

If you love mug cakes give this one a spin for something different and a little bit healthy. Now that you know how to make an apple crumble in a cup you’ll always have a healthy and satisfying snack.
