Here's what you'll need to make these apple cinnamon crumble muffins (measurements listed in the full recipe at the bottom of this page).

Muffins:

  • Vanilla
  • Milk
  • Egg
  • Self Raising Flour
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt
  • Apples - I use pink lady but any baking apple would work well (honeycrisp, granny smith etc).

TOP TIPS

  • Use whatever baking apples you prefer. I love to use pink lady but honeycrisp, granny smith etc would all work well.
  • Store these muffins in an airtight container lined with paper towel for a few days at air temperature. You can also freeze either individually wrapped or in an airtight container.
  • Have crumb mixture left? Pop it in an airtight jar and store it in the freezer for an easy on-demand topping for a simple fruit crisp or another batch of muffins.

Especially when they’re roasted with potatoes, the kids go wild for it… well, their dad too, haha. But I’m worried they’ll get bored, so I try to look for different recipe variations where carrots are the main ingredient. #glazedcarrots #carrotrecipes #vegetarianrecipes #cookitrealgood #veggies #sidedishes #sidedishrecipes

Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes! This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook. But totally doable. #mexicanchickensalad #mexicansalad #mexicanrecipe #saladrecipe #cookitrealgood #mexicancuisine #healthyeating
Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴 Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka. But back during the Covid era, Gigi Hadid shared the recipe on her social media, and ever since then, everyone’s been calling it Gigi Hadid Pasta. Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this. Here's what you'll need to make this recipe: 8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion) ¼ cup tomato paste 2 tablespoons vodka (optional) ½ cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes) ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 1 tablespoon butter A handful of fresh basil for garnish OR comment with "GIGI" and I'll DM you the full recipe 😁🤗 #gigihadidpasta #gigihadid #pastarecipe #vodkapasta #pennepasta #cookitrealgood #easypastarecipe #easyrecipe

Hey Cassie, these look so yummy. I'm weak for streusel topping on anything! (Btw, thank you for your advice on blog rebranding a couple of weeks ago. As you can see, I've now changed my name from Real Ordinary Food to Earth to Veg. I appreciate all of your help!)
