The apple muffins with hazelnut crumble are soft baked treats, perfect for enjoying at breakfast or as a snack. I prepared yogurt muffins, then added apple cubes with a sprinkle of cinnamon and finally a hazelnut crumble; once baked and cooled I decorated them with a powdered sugar glaze made with water. I recommend making these muffins: they will be gone in no time!

Preparation
To make the apple muffins with hazelnut crumble, sift the flour into a bowl and add the baking powder and baking soda.
In a large bowl beat the egg with the brown sugar. Then add the sunflower oil and the yogurt, continuing to mix to combine the ingredients.
Incorporate, a little at a time, the flour mixture and stir until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Portion the batter into the liners, peel the apple and cut it into cubes. Distribute the apple cubes over the muffins and add a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Prepare the crumble. In a bowl add the flour and the butter cut into pieces; with your hands begin to rub the mixture until you obtain the classic sandy texture.
Then add the sugar and the chopped hazelnuts; continue to work with your hands to combine well. Crumble the mixture to obtain small crumbs and distribute them over the muffins.
Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 338°F for 20 minutes; check with a toothpick. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool.
In a small bowl put the powdered sugar and add the water. Stir with a spoon until you obtain a smooth, thick icing; then spread the glaze over the muffins.
Store them in the refrigerator and serve as needed. Enjoy!
