You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy this one. I found this delicious and simple dessert on the web completely by accident, and then altered it a bit. I think it’s for two people, (or two servings) because I feel that it comes out too big for just one person. If you want to make this gluten-free, then use gluten-free flour and oats. If you’re not vegan just sub in regular unsalted butter and regular flour and have at it! It’s really easy. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Topping
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 2 tablespoons oatmeal
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- pinch salt, optional and to taste
Apple Filling
- 1 large apple, diced (I used granny smith)
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ginger
- a pinch of allspice
- a pinch of salt
- Extra large mug or small bowl*
Directions:
Topping:
- Soften the butter and mix all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside
Filling:
- Put butter into the bottom of the dish or mug and throw in the apples on top. Microwave the (now softened) apples and butter for one minute
- Remove from microwave and stir to coat all of the apples with the melted butter
- Add in the rest of the ingredients and and toss again to coat.
- Crumble topping across the top of the apple mixture and microwave again for 1.5-2 minutes on high, or until the topping turn soft and the apples are bubbling. Do NOT overcook.
