  8. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Do not over-mix!
  9. Gently fold the apples into the mixture and evenly scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
  10. Fill the empty cavities with water to ensure even baking.
  11. Sprinkle each muffin with an equal amount of crumb topping.
  12. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the muffins comes out clean.
