Step 1

Make sure the apple is diced no bigger than 1/4 inch pieces or they won't fully cook. Mix the "filling" ingredients in a small bowl, making sure the spices and sugar are evenly coated over the apples.

Step 2

I used tahini because I loved the bitterness against the sweetness but if you don't like the bitterness of tahini, use a runny almond butter. My tahini is very runny so the topping was very moist, as seen in the photo. If yours isn't wet and sticky, add a tad more syrup.

Step 3

Mix the "topping" ingredients in a separate bowl until sticky and wet.

Step 4

In a mug, add the apple filling.

Step 5

Add the topping on top of the apples.

Step 6

Microwave 2 1/2 minutes. Microwaves can vary so yours may need up to 3 minutes for the apples to be cooked. Mine was perfect at 2 1/2 minutes. Tender but not mushy.

Step 7

It will be super hot, so let it cool a few minutes before eating. Top with ice cream and enjoy!
