Directions
- Heat oven to 185c and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Make the crumble topping by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Use your fingers to rub the mixture together until it resembles a rough crumbly texture, then set aside.
- To make the muffins add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, mixed spice and salt together in a bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl add the butter, brown sugar, eggs, yoghurt, vanilla and milk. Whisk until fully combined and smooth. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and use a spatula to gently fold together until there are still some streaks of flour left. Add the diced apple and the grated apple and keep gently folding through, but don’t overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin liners and sprinkle a spoonful of the crumble over the top of each one. Bake for 15 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then leave to cool on a wire rack.
- The muffins will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
