Ingredients
- ½ cup apple, diced small
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder (for filling)
- 1 drop lemon juice
- 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder (for topping)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tbsp nut butter (almond or peanut)
- 1 tsp milk or water
- ¼ cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Toss diced apple with cinnamon, 1 tbsp protein powder, and one drop of lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Spread the apple mixture into a small ramekin or microwave-safe bowl in an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, stir together 1 tbsp protein powder, a pinch of salt, 1 tbsp nut butter, and 1 tsp milk or water until a crumbly mixture forms. Fold in the rolled oats until evenly combined.
- Spoon the crumble evenly over the apple base, covering it fully without pressing down.
- Microwave on high for 2–3 minutes until the apple softens and the topping sets — or bake at 350°F for 18–20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Let rest for 2 minutes before eating so the filling thickens and the topping firms up.
- Serve warm, plain or topped with a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
Notes
- Dice the apple to about ¼ inch for even cooking — larger chunks stay too firm, especially in the microwave.
- No protein powder? Substitute 1 tsp almond flour plus a small drizzle of maple syrup for binding.
- Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 2 days; reheat in the microwave for 60 seconds. Not recommended for freezing.
