Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 165°C.

2. Line a 12 cup muffin tray with muffin liners.

3. Peel and core the apples, weigh out 140g and grate.

4. Measure all of the dry ingredients into a medium bowl and mix well to break up any lumps. Remove 1/3 cup of the mixture and put aside for the crumb topping.

5. Add all of the wet ingredients and grated apples to a large bowl. Blend together with a hand mixer.

6. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well.

7. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

8. Gently scoop the batter into the muffin liners, filling 3/4 full.

9. Mix 1 tbsp of sweetener into the reserved crumb mixture. Starting with 1 tbsp, mix the melted butter into the crumb mixture with a fork. If the mixture isn't clumping together then add 1 tsp more of melted butter. Sprinkle over the muffin batter.

10. Bake for 15 minutes at 165°C, then increase the heat to 180°C and bake for a further 10 - 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
