PREPARATION
- Prepare Apple Base: Place diced apple in a small baking dish. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with ¼ tsp cinnamon, mixing to coat the apple evenly.
- Make Crumble Topping: In a bowl, combine oats, almond flour, remaining cinnamon and coconut oil, mixing with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This mixture will create a crisp, crumbly texture on top.
- Bake: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes until the topping is golden and the apples are tender.
- Serve: Let cool slightly and enjoy warm. You can add a dollop of Greek yoghurt or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.

TIPS
Here are some tips for the preparation of Single-Serve Apple Crumble:
- Choose Your Apple: For a slightly tart flavour, try Granny Smith apples. Sweeter varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji provide a more naturally sweet crumble.
- Substitute Toppings: If almond flour isn’t available, use whole-wheat or all-purpose flour instead. This will give a similar crumbly texture to the topping.
- Add Extra Crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds on top of the crumble mix before baking. This adds more texture and healthy fats.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Option: Replace honey with maple syrup to make this recipe fully plant-based. Maple syrup adds a caramel-like flavour, balancing the cinnamon and apple.
- Pumpkin Spice Twist: Add a dash of nutmeg, cloves, or allspice to the crumble mix for a warm autumnal flavour.
- Fruit Combination: Try adding diced pear, cranberries, or even berries to the apple base for a fruity variation.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- In The Fridge: If you make a double batch, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
- Freezing: Place the prepared Crumble (uncooked) in a small freezer-safe container and freeze for up to one month. To bake, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as instructed.
