Ingredients
  • 1/2 small, peeled, cored, and diced Apple
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Rolled Oats
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon Melted Butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Prepare the Apple

Peel, core, and dice the apple into small pieces. Place the diced apple in a microwave-safe mug.

Add Cinnamon and Vanilla

Sprinkle the cinnamon and vanilla extract over the apples in the mug. Stir to combine.

Prepare the Crumble Topping

In a separate small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble and Microwave

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the mug. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and the apples are tender. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.

Cool and Serve

Let the mug crumble cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
