- In a small bowl, beat together the egg, banana, milk, sweetener, and vinegar.
- Add the dry ingredients directly into the bowl with the wet and stir to thoroughly combine. Fold in the apple.
- Quickly make the topping my mixing it all together in a bowl.
- Fill each cup 3/4 of the way full and top with about 1 tablespoon or so of crumble topping.
- Bake on the center rack for 22 - 24 minutes until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
