Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

3 medium-sized apples, peeled and diced (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Pinch of salt

For the Granola Crumble:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour (or blended oats for a nut-free version)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

For Serving:

Greek yogurt or whipped cream (optional)

Extra apple slices for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Prepare the apple filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat evenly. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Make the granola crumble: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, honey (or maple syrup), shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined and crumbly.

        Assemble the cups: Spoon a layer of the apple filling into the bottom of each muffin cup, filling them about halfway. Then, generously top each cup with the granola crumble mixture.

          Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

            Cool and serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the crumble cups cool for 10 minutes. Carefully remove them from the tin and serve warm or at room temperature. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream on top and garnish with extra apple slices if desired.

              Enjoy these delightful Apple Granola Crumble Cups as a warm dessert or a cozy breakfast treat!
