Bake
Top with crumble. Press it down. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F.

Hint: Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing. Cold butter won't mix well.
Substitutions
For a dairy-free version, use almond milk and plant-based butter.
Variations
Swap apple for pear for a different flavor.
Equipment
A good muffin tray and a hand mixer are key. If using a spoon instead of a mixer, you'll need more mixing time.
