Make up sponge mix by creaming the butter and sugar, mixing in the eggs/milk/vanilla then folding in the flour.


Put a spoonful of sponge mix on top the apples.


Make the crumble by rubbing the butter into the flour and then adding the sugar.


Place a spoonful of the crumble mix on top of each cupcake.


Bake in oven for 20-25 mins until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Place on a cooling rack to cool then enjoy with a glass of milk!
