Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Crumble Cups

These apple cinnamon breakfast crumble cups feel like dessert, but they’re built from simple, affordable ingredients you probably already have. They’re warm, cozy, and perfectly portioned… ideal for busy mornings when you want something comforting without overdoing it.

Soft, cinnamon-spiced apples form the base, while a simple oat crumble adds just enough sweetness and texture. Baked in muffin tins, these cups are easy to store, reheat, and pack for work or school.

They’re especially great for using up apples that are starting to soften… turning potential food waste into a breakfast everyone looks forward to.
