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

Step-by-Step Method

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.

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.

Assemble

Scatter the oat crumble topping evenly over the spiced apple filling in the ramekin.

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.

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.
