Craving a warm dessert? This healthy single-serve air fryer apple crumble is naturally sweetened, gluten-free, and ready in 10 minutes!

- **Prep time:** 5 mins
- **Cook time:** 10 mins
- **Serves:** 1
- **Energy:** 365 kcal

## Ingredients

- 1 medium Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apple, cored and diced (~1 cup)
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp pure maple syrup, divided (1 tsp for filling, 1 tsp for topping)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- A pinch of ground nutmeg
- 3 tbsp rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tbsp almond flour or oat flour
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (or unsalted butter, softened)
- A pinch of fine sea salt

## Method

1. **Prep the Apples.** Toss the diced apples, lemon juice, 1 tsp maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a 6-ounce oven-safe ramekin until evenly coated.
2. **Mix the Crumble Topping.** In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, remaining 1 tsp maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir with a fork until the mixture clump together and becomes crumbly.
3. **Assemble.** Scatter the oat crumble topping evenly over the spiced apple filling in the ramekin.
4. **Air Fry.** Place the ramekin in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, until the apple juices are bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
5. **Cool and Serve.** Let it cool for 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

## Frequently asked questions

### What are the best apples for an air fryer crumble?

Firm, sweet-tart apples like Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith hold up best. They maintain a slight bite instead of turning into applesauce.

### Can I make this recipe nut-free?

Yes. Simply substitute the almond flour with oat flour or regular all-purpose flour in equal amounts.

### Do I need to peel the apples?

Peeling is completely optional. The apple skin softens significantly while cooking and adds extra fiber, but you can peel it if you prefer a smoother texture.

### Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely. You can prepare two ramekins side-by-side and air fry them together. The cooking time should remain the same, just ensure there is enough airflow around both ramekins in your air fryer basket.
