Apple Crumble Cupcakes / Cake

I had came across Kit's blog and her Apple Crumble Cake simply caught my attention. And I knew this is one of the cake I needed to bookmark and try to bake it...

And I wasn't wrong about it. These Apple Crumbles were indeed delicious...

I had made these Apple Crumble in cupcakes and a loaf of cake.

The texture of these apple crumbles were simply excellent!!! A soft and fluffy texture was all I knew the moment when I tried them.... Yummy indeed. Mimi had shared half of a cupcake with me, while Nic whom initially refused to try, said it was delicious too. I think these apple crumble will made one of the kids favourite as well. Even my colleagues whom had tried it, said it was very soft and delicious too.

 So what are you waiting for???

 This recipe yeilds 6 normal cupcakes and a 6"x3" rectangular loaf.

 Thanks to Kit for sharing this wonderful recipe:)
