I love muffins and I love apples. Put those two things together, I’m a happy girl and you come up with possibly the most amazing Apple Crumble Muffins ever! True … and they are even more amazing when you eat them hot straight from the oven. How do I know this? Because at least two of these find there way into my tummy before making it into the freezer.
I love this recipe because it only uses a little bit of butter, yummy greek yoghurt which makes them a little healthier and they come out deliciously moist. And those chunks of apple once they’ve been baked add more than enough sweetness. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

- Preheat oven to 190C and lightly grease 2 muffin trays. This recipe will make 15 medium-sized muffins.
- Combine the plain flour, baking powder, cinnamon and white sugar in a large bowl and mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the greek yoghurt, butter and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gentle fold in the apple pieces.
- Divide the mixture evenly between 15 muffin holes filling each one to approximately three quarters full.
- To create the topping, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter. Mash the butter into the other ingredients until the mixture resembles rough crumbs.
- Sprinkle approximately 1 teaspoonful of topping over each muffin.
- Bake muffins for approximately 15 – 16 minutes and check they are fully cooked by inserting a skewer which should come out clean. Leave muffins to sit in the tray for approximately 5 minutes before moving muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins are suitable to freeze.
