What To Serve With It
There’s nothing like a warm apple crumble muffin fresh from the oven, but pairing it with the right drink or side can make it even better.
For serving suggestions, I love a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce—it adds extra sweetness and texture. If you’re feeling fancy, a scoop of vanilla ice cream turns it into a mini dessert.
As for complementary beverages, I always go for a hot cup of coffee or tea, which balances the muffin’s richness. For something cooler, a glass of cold milk or apple cider works perfectly.
Trust me, these pairings will elevate your muffin experience!
