Super easy Apple Crumble Muffins… a soft apple muffin base topped with a crunchy oat crumble! These make the perfect lunch box treat (printable Conventional and Thermomix recipe cards included).
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!).

How much flour in cups instead of Grams?
Hi Jan, for the muffins you’ll need 1 and a half cups of self-raising flour. For the crumble, you’ll need 1/2 cup plain flour. xx
These are to die for. I used pink lady apples (on the larger side) and had no brown sugar for the crumble so just used normal sugar. They turned out amazing – will make these again and again!
Yippeee!!! Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
Beautiful muffin mixture, I found that most of the crumble fell off the muffins and very messy to eat. Will try more butter in the topping next time to hold it all together
