These were pretty good and easy to make. I omitted the topping, didn't want any extra calories. i also added a cup of oats to make it even healthier... but then the mix got bulky, so i added more milk until it became moist again. I also added 2 tsp cinnamon instead of 1. I added a tsp of vanilla esccence to the wet ingredients. I also halfed the sugar amount between white and brown sugar. This recipe yielded me 15 medium sized cupcakes.

These were very good! I shredded the apples and added 2 tbsp. of lemon juice to them before I added the apples to the batter. For the topping, I only used brown sugar, light earth balance margarine and old fashion oats. I baked at 375 instead of 400 for about 20 minutes.

An excellent base recipe to start with. I read several reviews and ended up making two versions. Version 1 had 1/2 c brown sugar, 1/4 c white sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 average-sized granny smith apple and a couple extra splashes of milk (didn't measure exactly). I skipped the crumble topping and used cinnamon/sugar instead. Second version added 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1 tsp cinnamon (for 2 total). Still needed small splash of milk. Between the two batches, I thought the second was better. White sugar makes them more fluffy and the vanilla adds much needed flavor. I'm keeping these changes and saving this to my recipe box! I was able to make one pan of mini-loaves (9) and filling 2/3 made them turn out the perfect size.

I agree with everyone else that this makes 12 muffins. I also had to add more milk than the recipe called for, and instead of the crumble topping, I used 4 crushed up crunchy cinnamon granola bars. They turned out great with these few minor adjustments.

I added buttermilk and lots of extra cinnamon. I also cinnamon and sugar'd the sides of the muffin tins, a lot of extra work, but very worth it. I also pan fried the apples a little to make them a little soft so they wouldn't be so crunch. These muffins were delicious and a huge hit with my dad, my 2 year olds and my dad.

Recipe yields 12 muffins, plus some if you have large apples. It will look like the apples are half the batter, but that's fine, because it works great as long as you add a little bit more milk! Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. If you want a true crumble, use one fourth the butter and half the rest of the crumble recipe. If you want a glaze-like, slight crumble, just half the crumble recipe, and it is quite good! I ran out of cinnamon part-way through, and so I know apple pie spice works great too! Don't be shy to add more cinnamon/spice to taste, because it worked great for me! Loved the modified recipe!

I made these into bars, which worked out well. I recommend using a pastry cutter to make the crumb. There is far too much butter in the crumb topping. 1/4 cup would have been much better. I probably won't make this again.

This was pretty good. Every one was right about the portion sizes, it is all out of wack. I did not like doing the cubed butter and struggled with this, which made the topping more challenging to put on. The muffins look pretty good, and taste pretty good too, but definitely not the best.

These were very yummy. I made the batter, refrigerated it and baked the muffins in the morning. They turned out beautifully. I opted for cinnamon sugar rather than the topping to save time. It made a sweet, crunchy top without the extra fat. I also added more milk as the batter was dry. I found the recipe easily made 12 muffins rather than 6, which is what the recipe says. A definite "do-over"!

This recipe was very good, but I was worried about the apples being a little crunchy so I fried them in butter, cinnamon and sugar before putting them in the batter. I also substituted applesauce for the oil and left off the topping all together. They were a little dense due to the applesauce, but they tasted oh so good.

I haven't tried these yet, I just popped them in the oven... I wanted to add that when you make the topping, I think it would be better to use oats instead of flour bc the flour and butter mixture made it into a paste that you have to spread onto the uncooked muffins which is difficult. I followed the advice of one reviewer and cut the butter down to 1/4 cup and still I had a paste. If I had used oats I would have been able to sprinkle it. Will update after I eat them, lol. ** ok that was a bad idea. The butter melted and a sugary caramel was formed and leaked all over my oven.**

I made the entire recipe as instructed except for one thing, I halved butter in the struesel. Another reviewer was right, it is far too much. It was tasty but don't go to heavy on the topping, it's overpowering at times.

These were pretty good. I followed the modifications made by "canuwrite", and they turned out great! One apple was definately enough, and the crumble mix for on top was yummy with less butter.It made 9 regular sized muffins for me. I think next time I make them I will add more cinnamon and use apple sauce instead of oil for less fat. Thanks for the good basic recipe, you really can tweak it to what you like. They are yum! *****UPDATE**** Made these again last night, but substituted half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. This reduces the amount of fat in the muffins, and they seemed to be more moist and fluffy. Delicious!!

They were easy to make, my 8 year old helped and did most of the work. The tops really did spread a lot, I put a cookie sheet under the muffin tin to catch the overflow--thank goodness. I only used one apple finely chopped and we all thought they turned out fine.

I have no idea how this recipe got so many positive reviews. Besides the errors in measurement (the recipe makes 12 muffins, not 6, there's far too much butter in the crumble topping, and you should NEVER EVER fill muffin cups all the way up), there's the fact that they came out heavy and largely tasteless. I even added extra spices -- some nutmeg and allspice, in addition to the cinnamon .And even though I halved the amount of butter in the topping, I still wound up with a buttery mess on the bottom of the muffin cups. Fortunately it confined itself to the pan

The basic muffin recipe was fine, although I doubled the cinnamon and it made 12 muffins. I like a crunchy crumb topping so I mixed 3/4 c. flour, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 c. sugar, added 1/4 cup butter (melted) and divided evenly among the muffins. No more buttery pan! This recipe is the same as the "To Die for Bluberry Muffins" from this site.

I didn't know how this recipe would turn out but it came out so good that even my mother that is undergoing chemotherapy ate two. I did do some modifications; I doubled the amount of milk and shredded one apple to distribute moisture. For the crumb topping I mixed 1tbs of melted butter with 2tbs of oats and sugar and 1tbs of flour and some cinnamon. It was great! The reviews really helped!
