• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)

How to Make Mini Cinnamon Apple Crumble Cakes

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
2. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, 1/4 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.
7. Divide the cake batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over each cake.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
9. Serve warm with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
• Don’t overmix the batter; fold in the apples gently to keep the cakes light and fluffy.
• Let the cakes cool slightly before removing them from the pan to avoid breaking.

Easy Variations

• For a nutty flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping.
• Substitute the apples with pears or berries for a different fruit flavor.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing
• A warm mug of spiced cider or hot chocolate
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast
• A scoop of yogurt for a tangy complement
