    Apple crumble muffins

    I saw these on Lorraine on ITV yesterday morning. I haven't made them yet but I intend to, they looked yummy!


    APPLE CRUMBLE MUFFINS

    Makes 12

    INGREDIENTS:

    For the crumble:

    100g plain flour

    80g light brown sugar

    1 tbsp caster sugar

    1 tsp mixed spice

    60g unsalted cold butter, diced

    For the muffins:

    225g plain flour

    1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

    1 tsp baking powder

    1tsp mixed spice

    ½ tsp salt

    120g unsalted butter

    150g light brown sugar

    2 large eggs

    80g full fat natural yogurt

    80ml full fat milk

    1 tsp vanilla bean paste

    2 medium eating apples, peeled, cored and diced

    For the icing:

    100g icing sugar

    1 tbsp lemon juice

    METHOD:

    For the crumble:

    In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown and caster sugar and mixed spice until well combined.

    Rub the butter into the dry ingredients to make the crumble and set aside until ready to use.

    Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4 and fill a muffin tin with 12 muffin cases.

    For the muffins:

    In a bowl, mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, mixed spice and salt together until well combined.

    In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until lighter in colour and creamy, this will take about 3 minutes. Mix in the eggs, yogurt, milk and vanilla until creamy.

    Slowly mix in the dry ingredients and fold in the diced apples.

    Spoon evenly into the muffin cases and sprinkle each muffin with the crumble mixture. Bake in the oven for about 22-25 minutes.

    Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin slightly and then transfer the muffins to a cooling rack to cool down completely.

    For the icing:

    In a bowl mix the icing sugar and lemon juice to a thick but drizzling consistency, adding either more icing sugar or lemon juice to bring it to the perfect consistency. Drizzle over the muffins.​

    Gem, they sound delicious, and the apple in them makes them sound nice and healthy too. I must have a go next time I'm baking.

    Many thanks.

          I made these yesterday.

          My opinion is they are nice, but not worth the extra work involved in making crumble and cake batter at the same time as well as peeling and dicing apples.
          OH thought they were nice but no nicer than the apple cake I regularly make - which is quicker and easier to make.


          OH ,our friend and I all had one after our meal yesterday and I gave DD1 one each to take home for her and GS.
          The remaining muffins are in the freezer until we have people round.

          My verdict on Apple Crumble Muffins is they look and taste good, but a bit of a faff if you are lazy cook like me!

            Gem, thanks for the update. As a fellow lazy cook I take your point!

            I've noticed when I look for a recipe online I invariable start with the word "Easy"!!!
