APPLE PIE MUFFINS
 
 
Ingredients
  • FOR THE MUFFINS
  • 1½ cups plain flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 apples (I used granny smith)
  • FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR CRUMBLE
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened and cubed (28g, 1 oz)
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 C and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. To make the crumble topping, mix together the oats, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the butter and use a fork to crumble it together. Set aside.
  3. Peel, core and dice the apples into 1cm (1/2 inch) cubes. Set aside.
  4. To make the muffins, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
  5. In a jug, whisk together the oil, egg and milk. Pour it into the well in the dry ingredients and mix gently, with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the flour is just incorporated. Stir through 1 cup of the apples.
  6. Fill the muffin liners ⅔ full with batter. Top the muffins with the remaining chopped apple and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar crumble.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  8. Your house will smell amazing. Makes 12 regular muffins.
