Blackberry and Apple Crumble Muffins

Step 01

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper muffin cases.

Step 02

First, make the crumble topping. Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and work the mixture with your fingers until it forms nuggets.

Step 03

For the muffins, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar. In another smaller bowl, beat the milk with the egg, melted butter and lemon zest.

Step 04

Peel, quarter and core the apple, and cut into blackberry-size pieces.

Step 05

Stir the wet mixture into the flour and sugar mixture until combined. It's fine if it's still a bit lumpy. Stir in the apple and blackberries.

Step 06

Spoon the mixture evenly into the paper cases and sprinkle over the crumble topping. Bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
