Cailin's Apple Crumble Muffins

[Rouge]

This is my own adapted recipe WOOT! The original had praline topping as well as other things so I'll include recipes for both toppings

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups SR flour, sifted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 unsalted butter softened (or salted butter but minus the salt)
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped tinned pie apples apples
.
Crumble Topping:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3-4 Tablespoons plain flour

Alternate Praline Topping:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

PREPARATION:
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into mixing bowl. Rub butter into dry ingredients until fine crumbs form. Combine egg and milk. Add to dry ingredients all at once, stirring just enough to moisten.

Stir in apples. Spoon batter into muffin tins (I use my clicky ice cream scoop), filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle with crunchy topping. Bake in 375° F, 190° C or 170° C fan forced. oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown (takes me about 20).

Crumble Topping: In a small bowl mix together flour, sugar and cinnamon. Add butter and rub together till crumble forms (should be a cross between crumbs and biscuit dough)

Praline Topping: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, chopped pecans and ground cinnamon.

Makes about 12 muffins.

We have these for Breakfast As on weekends we have one sweet cooked breaky day and one savoury... tomorrow is all-in-one breakfast (I'll post that recipe too!)

Enjoy!
