Ingredients
Scale
Apple layer
- ½ cup apple, finely chopped for fast baking
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
- A small squeeze of lemon juice
Crumble topping
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond or peanut both work)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon milk or water
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit base: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the chopped apple in a small bowl. Add cinnamon, lemon juice, and protein powder. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated and slightly glossy. Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe ramekin and spread it into an even layer.
- Mix the crumble: In another bowl, combine oats, nut butter, protein powder, milk (or water), and salt. Stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly and lightly clumps together. If it feels dry or powdery, add a tiny splash more liquid until it holds shape when pressed.
- Assemble: Scatter the oat topping over the apple layer, covering it loosely rather than packing it down. This helps the crumble toast nicely.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the topping turns lightly golden and the apples begin to bubble around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes — the filling thickens slightly as it cools. Serve warm on its own or finish with yogurt, ice cream, whipped cream, or an extra drizzle of nut butter.
