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!).

Hi from Olhao, Portugal.
Just keeping up with what’s cooking at home……
These are really lovely moist muffins – especially for anyone who loves the taste of apple, cinnamon, and crumble – I can recommend them.
Eating lots of Portuguese tarts here – delicious!
Love, mum xx
Hi Mum, Thanks for checking in!!! Oooh I love portugese tarts – we’ll have to make them when you get home. There’s a great Jamie Oliver recipe for them!
These muffins is a must have for lunchbox, mostly kids are not getting quite the nutrients they need in a day but with these kinds of snacks they can be out of hunger and healthy at the same time…
Hi! I’m not much of a cook (I wish I was!) so need advice please. I never have vegetable oil in my pantry I have olive, peanut and macadamia. Would any of those be okay?
Hi Cherie, I would recommend either vegetable oil or coconut oil as they’re mild in flavour (the ones you’ve listed have quite a strong flavour and I dont think they’d go well in these muffins at all sorry!). xx
I actually used coconut oil for the crumbs, it turned out great!
Fantastic!
So yummy these muffins! Hubby and kids all love it! Thanks for sharing!
A silly question: should I leave them in the fridge or normal temperature if there is some left over and I want to eat it next day. Thanks!
Hi Cindy, at room temperature is fine 🙂
