Ingredients

Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 5 tablespoons dairy-free unsalted butter

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cake:

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup almond milk

  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

Apples:

  • Dice 2 medium apples

  • 1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup

  • Sprinkle cinnamon to taste

  • Sprinkle nutmeg to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.

  • For the crumb, in a mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Melt your butter and add to the bowl. Add the vanilla extract. Use a fork to fluff the mixture until you get a crumble.

  • For the cake batter, add flour, baking powder, baking powder, and baking soda and whisk together. In a new bowl, use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat again. In a new small bowl, mix the almond milk and lemon juice - let it sit and curdle for a few minutes. Beat in the almond milk and lemon juice. Add flour to the bowl and beat slowly until combined.

  • For the apples, peel off the skin and dice the apples into cubes. Coat the apples with maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

  • Add liners to the cupcake tray. Add a tablespoon of the cake batter, cover the cake batter with diced apples, and add the crumble.

  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
