I love a good streusel topping on a muffin. And there is no better muffin to top with streusel than an apple muffin!
This apple streusel muffin recipe is a family favourite.
We made these apple and streusel muffins using our homemade muffin mix so they are super quick and easy. That means you have time to fuss around a bit with some delicious streusel topping.
In truth, these muffins are not really that fancy, they just seem that way because of the extra yummy streuselly bits on top!

What a great basic recipe and clear instructions! Thanks! My 5.5 year old and I will try that! I pinned your post too
Thank you Kate. We are not buying packet mixes anymore which has resulted in my baking for school lunches consisting of biscuits and slices but no muffins or cupcakes. This looks like a real time saver and my three hungry tummies on legs (the little people) will love it
Is wholemeal flour whole grain flour?
Yes.. it’s what we Aussies call whole grain flour, but you can use whatever flour you like :)
