Apple Crumble Muffins


Here's an excellent recipe for a apple crumble muffins. My mom requested a dessert with apples (since we had so many). Hard to resist such a beautiful muffin! The actual muffin tasted healthy, but the delicious topping and glaze gave it a sweet twist.
I added oats to the topping, but if that not your thing you can leave it out. A great summer snack!


Apple Crumble Muffins Recipe:

50g cold butter, cubed.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
