Apple Crumble Muffins

In my quest to use up all the apples that we got at the farm I came across this recipe for apple crumble muffins.

Chunks of apples are baked in a cinammon batter sweetened with honey and then topped with a oat and pecan crumble. The apples and honey flavor the muffin without making too sweet or too cakey.

Perfect for breakfast or brunch

I had picked up some honey from the farmer's market earlier partly because we needed some but also partly because it looked really pretty in its jar.

 

 

I mixed together the batter, stirred in the apple chunks and then sprinkled with the crumble topping. Easy!

 

Aren't these muffin papers cute? My sister brought them back from New York for me.  I wasn't going to attempt to decorate these muffins but the pretty papers dress them up a little bit.

 

These are easy peasy no-fuss muffins that seem special with their crumble topping

Those look sooo good! I love crumbly-streusel type toppings. And the recipe sounds pretty easy. I'm going to try!

Muffins are big in this house! You can hide all sorts of things like flax seed and oatmeal in there and no one is any wiser. These look great!

Agree much with Papercuts and Coffeehuts about farmers market honey -- infinitely more amazing than store-bought. I love its use in these delicious-looking muffins.

Cheers,
