    When it comes to yummy muffins... these Apple Crumble Muffins are the ultimate!!! The grated apple in the mixture keeps the muffins beautifully moist, while the oat crumble gives the most perfect crunch.

    Unfortunately, I can't take credit for this recipe myself - it's one that I pinched off my Mum a few years ago (and have made every couple of months ever since!).

    Freezer-friendly muffins

    The best thing about these muffins (about from how darn delicious they are!), is that they're freezer-friendly - which is perfect because you can whip up a batch, eat a few while they're fresh from the oven and then freeze the rest for quick and easy snacks.

    Unless you've got a big family or are feeding a crowd, I'd highly recommend freezing your leftover muffins. Muffins are one of those things that are always best eaten on the first day or two - so if you don't think you'll get through all 12 straight away, pop them into the freezer (that way they'll be just as fresh as when they came out of the oven!).

    Easy Muffin Recipes

    And while these Apple Crumble Muffins really are sooooo incredibly good (they really, really are... so please make a batch today!), here's a few of my other favourite muffin recipes:

    • Blueberry Muffins
    • White Chocolate & Raspberry Muffins
    • Banana Muffins
    • Carrot Cake Muffins
    • ABCD Muffins

    Or check out my entire collection of muffin recipes here (sorry, there's too many to list!!!).

    Ingredients

    For the muffins:

    • 220 g self-raising flour
    • 115 g (½ cup) vegetable oil
    • 190 g (¾ cup) milk
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 165 g (¾ cup) caster sugar
    • 2 small apples, grated

    For the crumble:

    • 75 g (½ cup) plain flour
    • 110 g (1 cup) rolled oats
    • 80 g (½ cup) brown sugar
    • 80 g butter, chopped
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    Conventional Method

    • Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Line a 12-hole muffin tray with muffin cases and set aside.
    • Place all of the muffin ingredients (not the crumble ingredients) into a bowl and mix together until just combined.
    • Divide the mixture between the prepared muffin holes (filling to ⅔ full).
    • To make the topping, mix the crumble ingredients together until combined. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top of the muffins.
    • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden on top and cooked through.
    • Leave in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Thermomix Method

    • Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Line a 12-hole muffin tray with muffin cases and set aside.
    • Place the chopped apples into the Thermomix bowl. Grate on Speed 8, 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 
    • Add the remaining muffin ingredients (not the crumble ingredients) into the Thermomix bowl and mix on Speed 5, 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat for a further 5 seconds. 
    • Divide the mixture between the prepared muffin holes (filling to ⅔ full).
    • To make the topping, place the crumble ingredients into a clean Thermomix bowl and press Turbo a few times until you have achieved a consistent crumble mixture (and all of the dry ingredients have been completely combined with the butter).
    • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden on top and cooked through.
    • Leave in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

      Yum! I just made these with my kids (4 & 2). I used coconut sugar instead and oat milk instead of cows. Still turned out delicious. Kids want to eat them all.
      Will make again for sure

      I just made these and they taste scrumptious! The tartness of the apples balances really well with the sweetness of the cinnamon crumble. Amazing! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

      They are absolutely fabulous! I halved the crumble recipe and it worked out perfectly. Eaten warm and they’re so moist and flavourful. Very happy with them. Recipe is a keeper. Thank you!
