🍏✨ Warm Cinnamon Apple Crumble Cups (Vegan 10-Minute Holiday Dessert)

When winter cravings hit, nothing feels more nostalgic than soft, cinnamon-spiced apples under a warm crumble topping that tastes like it came straight from grandma’s kitchen. But during the busy holiday season, few people have time for long-bake pies, rolling dough, or complicated desserts — that’s why mini crumble cups are trending across Pinterest and TikTok.

These 10-minute vegan apple crumble cups feel like mini personal desserts you’d serve on a cozy snow day or after a holiday dinner. They’re warm, gooey, cinnamon-sweet, and buttery-crumbly on top, and they pair perfectly with whipped coconut cream, vegan vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup. They also plate beautifully for holiday boards, dessert bars, brunch tables, and Christmas Eve hosting.

Think of them as individual apple crisp bites — cute, aesthetic, fast, and guaranteed to be saved, shared, and re-made.
