Apple, Sultana and Cinnamon Crumble Muffins

Ok ... forgive me, it's been a while, I know !! Been hectic, but I know that's not a good enough excuse .... will post some pics and recipes from Cake and Bake Show at Earls Court soon ....

The nights are drawing in, leaves are falling, and I wanted to make something Autumnal and comforting.
I'd been asked to help at NSPCC/CHILDLINE with their Stop for Tea campaign and went for a photo shoot with a big teapot at the Spar in Walthamstow Village. Their wonderful array of cakes and biscuits inspired me to come up with this recipe to go with the campaign.
