1) Preheat the oven to gas mark 5 and prepare 12 muffin cases or 16 if smaller ones are used.
2) Prepare the topping first by adding the sifted flour, sugar and cubed butter in a seperate bowl and rub together until fine bread crumbs form. Then bring together lightly to form a dough ball, coarsly grate and set aside.
3) For the muffins, mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In a seperate bowl, mix the egg, milk, oil, sultanas and apples together. Add the wet to the dry and mix briefly.
4) Spoon the batter evenly between the muffin cases 3/4 full, as they dont rise too much so they won't overflow, and sprinkle on some of the grated topping. Bake in the centre of the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
Chef's Tips
You could always omit the ginger from the batter, and instead add it to the topping mix.
They are lovely! just right for this time of year
Thanks for that :-) will look forward to making them, as there are plenty of apples around at the moment
I could see what you mean, don't really know whats happened, it was added last year and the site has changed since then. I have rectified the ingredients order though. Hope you can understand it better now.
Like the sound of this, but the ingredient list and method are rather confusing? ie re the topping and the muffins....
