Gluten-Free Apple Cobbler Recipe
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!
With just 1 to 1 ½ minutes in the microwave, these apples soften into a delicious pie filling and the crumble topping adds a delicious complexity to the simple apples.
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.

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. Shop GF Harvest on Amazon here.
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. While all of these ingredients can be purchased at your local grocery store, I purchase my sugar substitutes from Thrive Market. I also find great deals on Amazon for buying my absolute favorite brand of almond flour, Anthony’s. Shop Anthony’s almond flour on Amazon here.
To make this microwave apple cobbler filling you’ll need:
- 1 large apple, peeled + diced
- 1 tsp sugar substitute that measures like sugar (I like Swerve) or coconut sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
To make the crumble topping you’ll need:
- 1 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tsp unsweetened applesauce
- ½ tsp sugar substitute that measures like sugar (I like Swerve) or coconut sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- pinch salt
You’ll whip this all up in your favorite microwavable mug!
How to Make Gluten-Free Apple Crumble in a Mug
Step 1:
Peel and dice your apple and drop it right into your mug.
Step 2:
Mix the apples with the sugar substitute, lemon juice, and cinnamon.

Step 3:
In a small dish, mix together the almond flour, unsweetened applesauce, sugar substitute, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle this mixture on top of the apples in the mug.
Step 4:
Microwave your apple crumble for 1 to 1 ½ minutes (microwave times may vary depending on the power of your microwave).
Step 5:
Enjoy your delicious (and guilt-free dessert)!
