Since this week is Apple week on I Adore Food and since I have about 100 apples sitting in my kitchen, I have decided to do one of my follower’s recipe! This muffin recipe is just like an apple crumble but in a muffin! It’s great! You really have to try it!

Ingredients
- 2 Cup All purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/4 Cup of white sugar
- 3 medium size apples, grated
- 1 Cup of ground walnuts
- 1/2 Cup of flaked sweetened coconut
- 2/3 Cup of sunflower oil + 1 tsp
- 2 Teaspoon baking powder
- 2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup of chopped butter
- 1/4 Cup of brown sugar
- 1 Cup of jumbo oats
- 2 Teaspoon of water
- 1 Tablespoon of honey
Instructions
- First things first, pre-heat the oven to 350F and line your muffin tin with paper cases.
- To make the topping, combine the butter, 3/4 cup of flour and the brown sugar in a mixing bowl and rub together with your fingers until you get a decent crumbly texture. Add the oats and give the mixture a stir.
- Lastly, add the water, honey and 1 tsp of oil and stir all together. Set to one side.
- In a coffee grinder or food processor, ground the walnuts.
- Sift the rest of the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, the rest of the oil, the white sugar and vanilla. Then add the grated apple and coconut. If you've got a food mixer you can do the apples in that rather than grating them up. Give it a good stir and then finally add the sifted flour mixture and the grounded walnuts.(She put chopped walnuts instead of grinding them)
- Don't worry if it looks lumpy - it is supposed to.
- Carefully spoon the mixture into the muffin cases and add some of the oat topping to each one. Don't worry if the topping goes in between the cases - these are the best bits when the tray comes out of the oven.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown, you can test them by using a skewer - if it comes out clean they are done. Leave them to cool down before serving. The muffins will keep for 3-4 days in a sealed tupperware.
