Apple Muffins

Storm had a craving for Apple Muffins.

I didn't have an actual recipe to turn to, but I did have an Apple Coffee Cake recipe I'd made a couple of times before (ripped out from a random magazine). I never did like the streusel they put on top so I made the crumb topping from my Grandma's Crumb Cake that I love.

One part coffee cake. One part Grandma's crumb cake. All yumminess.

Apple Muffins

Yields 12

CAKE

1 1/4 cup flour      1/2 cup sugar

2 1/4 tsp baking powder   1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt  1/2 cup milk

4 tbsp oil (or melted butter)   1 egg, beaten

2 apples, peeled and diced

• Mix the dry ingredients for the batter in a medium bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix milk, oil and egg.
• Pour into dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in apples.
• Pour into lined muffin tin. Put on a generous tablespoon of Grandma's crumb topping.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out dry.

GRANDMA'S CRUMB TOPPING

1/4 cup butter, slightly softened

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup flour

• Mix together until crumbly.



You can come over for one of these though, if you hurry. I doubled the recipe thinking that original cake recipe wouldn't make twelve and I had enough to make 24!

Quick! Come save my arse from getting any wider!!
