By putting a simple gluten free apple cobbler recipe in a mug, you can have all the taste and feels of traditional apple crumble ready in just 5 minutes from start to finish!

This easy microwave gluten free apple cobbler recipe makes a single serving. However, you could easily double it or triple it to make 2 or 3 mugs worth.
Just be sure to increase the microwave time or microwave them each individually for best results.
Why you’ll love this easy apple recipe:

Gluten-Free Apple Cobbler with Oatmeal
I left oats out of the original recipe as many people who are gluten-free have difficulty tolerating oats (even if they are gluten-free).
But if you are looking to make a microwave gluten free apple cobbler with oatmeal in the topping, simply add half a tablespoon of gluten-free oats into the topping mixture.
Are you looking for safe gluten-free oats? GF Harvest is my favorite brand of gluten-free oats. They are grown in dedicated gluten-free fields and processed in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
Plus, these oats are totally affordable on Amazon.

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Apple Cobbler in a Mug
This delicious gluten free apple crumble in a mug recipe contains only 6 ingredients that you likely already have at home.
