  • 1¼ cups low-fat milk

Topping

  • 3 Tbsp castor sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Peel and grate the apple and stir in the lemon juice (this prevents the apple turning brown). Sift the white flour, cinnamon and baking powder into a seperate bowl. Add the sugar and wholemeal flour; combine well. Mix together the butter, eggs and milk, and stir into the flour mixture. Gently combine with the apple, spoon into greased muffin pans and sprinkle the tops with the topping mixture before baking. Bake at 200°C/390°F for 20 minutes.
