Ingredients
For the apple filling:Directions

- Set aside
For the crumble topping:

- Add the cold butter and rub between your fingers until a crumble forms
To assemble:
- Add a tablespoon of the batter to the bottom of each liner
- Spoon on a tablespoon of the apple filling and spread evenly
- Top the cupcakes with the remaining batter until it’s ⅔ of the way filled
- Spoon on a tablespoon of the crumble and spread evenly
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
- Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
