    Lovely. I used almond milk and dark brown sugar only because it’s what I had on hand and Granny Smith Apples. Next time, I’ll use 1/4 cup less white sugar. I love that the batter used oil, not butter so the muffin was light and airy, but substantial with the crumble on top. (I have done a combo of oil and butter for crumbles before, and sometimes just oil, and it creates a good crumble, just not at moist. Make no mistake, this is a winner as is!

    Just wanted to clarify that I used brown sugar in the crumble not as a substitute for the white sugar that is called for when making the batter.

  10. These cupcakes were so so goood! Very Moreish and amazing with a glass of cold milk 😀 my only issue was the crumble, it didn’t crumble much it turned out to be a bit like lumpy wet sand texture. I followed your recipe exacting. I’m guessing I have to use more flour next time or less butter so it crumbles better? When the cupcakes were done it was like a yummy crispy biscuit on top rather than a crumble, not like we minded still consumed the lot! Advise please 🙂 I can’t wait to make them again!

  11. I’m not sure I made these properly . They came out very dense more like a banana cake texture not muffin.

  14. My husband loved these muffins but they didn’t rise like the photo. Do I need to fill the muffin tins more or did I put in too much apple?

  15. Do you use all purpose flour?

    January 13, 2024
  16. I baked these muffins today. Taste was good but look wasn’t that attractive. When I made the crumble, it wasn’t as crumbly as your’s.
    What did I do wrong?
    Thank you for sharing such a lovely and easy recipe.
