Ingredients

FILLING

1 cup (115g) peeled and diced honey crisp apple 1/4 inch pieces (about 1 regular size apple)
2 teaspoons (10g) coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
2 teaspoons oat flour or regular flour if not gluten-free

TOPPING

3 tablespoons (24g) regular rolled oats (not instant)
1 tablespoon (20g) pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 tablespoon (16g) runny tahini or nut butter of choice
pinch fine salt

Instructions

Make sure the apple is diced no bigger than 1/4 inch pieces or they won't fully cook. Mix the "filling" ingredients in a small bowl, making sure the spices and sugar are evenly coated over the apples.
I used tahini because I loved the bitterness against the sweetness but if you don't like the bitterness of tahini, use a runny almond butter. My tahini is very runny so the topping was very moist, as seen in the photo. If yours isn't wet and sticky, add a tad more syrup.
Mix the "topping" ingredients in a separate bowl until sticky and wet.
In a mug, add the apple filling.
Add the topping on top of the apples.
Microwave 2 1/2 minutes. Microwaves can vary so yours may need up to 3 minutes for the apples to be cooked. Mine was perfect at 2 1/2 minutes. Tender but not mushy.
It will be super hot, so let it cool a few minutes before eating. Top with ice cream and enjoy!
