Peel and core apples, dice into 1cm pieces.

Slowly add milk, oil and mix until all incorporated.
Add the flour and cinnamon and whisk on low until just combined.
Once apples are cooled, add to the batter and fold through with a spatula.
CRUMBLE PREPARATION
For the crumble mix, add everything to a clean mixing bowl with the paddle attachment fitted and mix until just combined.
MUFFIN PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 175 degrees
Line muffin tray with greased paper, spoon in the batter about 2/3 of the way up.
Top with the crumble mix.
Bake in oven for 20mins.
Use a skewer or cake tester to check if cooked.
Place on wire rack to cool.
