These warming muffins are just perfect for a cold winter’s day. Super buttery, with a soft, warm centre that bursts with juicy roasted apple and cinnamon, their crumble topping adds an extra sweet something and the sticky vanilla glaze means that one really won’t be enough! Remi has taken the humble apple muffin and made it Bonfire Night-ready by adding a classic crunch and some seasonal spice. Perfect to nibble on whilst watching the fireworks this week!
