Apple Muffins with Cinnamon Apple Crumb

We just blinked and the summer just zoomed by and we are in the fall season already. The weather is turning a tad bit chilly and this is the time for fall decors, Halloween, Apples and Pumpkin. Depending on where we live the fruits and vegetables for that particular region vary, but over all for me nothing talks fall weather more than apple and pumpkin.

It has been 4 years since we moved from NY to Oklahoma. We love Oklahoma, but there are still few things that we miss from back in NY. Apple picking is one the top of the list and it is something we all as a family miss in Oklahoma. The apple farms were plenty in NY and there has been no fall when we did not go apple picking. I mean, the apple orchards were less than 15 minutes away and they were loaded with apples. It used to be a very memorable event every fall and we would look forward for months to go apple picking.

We came back home with a huge sack of apple and then began the struggle of figuring out, how to use the apples that we picked. Over the years I have made several recipes with apple and here is a list of apple recipes that I have in the blog.

Apple Muffins with Cinnamon Apple Crumb

About the Apple Muffins with Cinnamon Apple Crumb recipe -

To reminiscence our memories, today I have an apple recipe for the theme 'recipes using seasonal produce'. I made aromatic and delightful Apple Muffins with Cinnamon Apple Crumb. We all love muffin in our house and I love baking muffins. I have quite a few muffin recipes in the blog and I still don't get tired of them. This is a simple recipe and is perfect for breakfast on the go or for after school snack.

I have made this as an egg less recipe and have used yogurt and apple sauce. I also used part whole wheat pastry flour and part All Purpose flour. If you don't have whole wheat pastry flour, you could just use the whole wheat flour or use just the all purpose flour. The texture of the muffin was just awesome and perfect than the bakery ones.

I used gala apples in the recipe. Use any apple that you have or like. The crumb topping for the muffin is optional, but I would highly recommend it. If you are not making the crumb topping, then increase the sugar quantity of the muffin a bit more.

    It's been awhile since I had made a proper cake or muffins. Infact my baking has taken a back seat as I'm trying to reduce my calorie intake (though that's a futile exercise). Now these muffins are tempting me. Truly speaking I 'm now badly craving for them. Why we have to deny ourselves of all these goodies 🙁
