In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Stir to coat the apples evenly. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Preheat your air fryer to 320. In a greased air fryer-safe baking dish or pan, spread the apple mixture evenly at the bottom. Top the apples generously with the gingerbread crumble mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Place the baking dish in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, checking halfway through. The crumble should be golden brown and the apples tender.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the air fryer. Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Divide the gingerbread breakfast crumble into bowls and top with whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla yogurt. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Notes
Serve warm with whipped cream or yogurt.
