Apple pie muffins

Appeltaart muffins

This is a great recipe to use up apple compote. Fun to make with the children on a Sunday morning.

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. If desired, line the muffin tin with cheerful paper liners.
  2. First, make the crumble topping; put the flour, sugars, melted butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl and rub it together with your fingers to make crumbs.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and sugar. Add the Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon. The batter will be fairly thick.
  6. Fill the liners halfway with batter and add a tablespoon of apple compote or apple pieces, pressing it into the batter. Sprinkle generously with the crumble topping.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 175 degrees and place the muffin tin inside. Bake for about 19–22 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool on a rack.
  8. You can serve them as they are or decorate them with icing. They freeze well without icing.
