2. Place the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt over a large mixing bowl. Add the apple and stir until well combined.

5. Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners and sprinkle the crumble over the top. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean.

6. Leave to cool for 5 minutes and serve. Allow the remaining muffins to cool completely and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Enjoy!
