Apple Crumble Muffins

Yum

I love baked apples. They turn into this warm, soft, and sweet gooey goodness that melts in your mouth. Whenever there’s apples, there need to be cinnamon. It should be illegal to separate the both of them. I made these lovely spiced apple muffins for the people that works hard at the foot reflexology place that I frequent.

Just before I packed them into cupcake boxes to deliver it to them, I added a little something special. I had a jar of salted caramel sauce laying around in the fridge and knew that it’d be such a great combination to these delicious muffins. So I drizzled some salted caramel on top of the crumbles before packing it. 

Apple Crumble Muffins

These muffins were a hit with the masseuses! They loved the salted caramel with the sweet decadent crumbles, moist vanilla muffin, and was pleasantly surprised when they bit into the caramelised baked apples! I’m so glad that these muffins were able to put a smile on their faces. And I’m sure it would put a smile to yours or your love ones too.

No self raising flour? Here's now to make a batch.

Trim off the apple ring if it's too big to fit into the muffin holes. Alternatively, you can cut your apples into cubes.

    Hi Sharon, Thank you for sharing. Looks so yummy! I love the crumbles on top of cake. Can mix some almond ground and oatmeal for the crumbles also.

      Hi Elaine, yes of course. But you may need a little for butter for the mixture to bind. 🙂
