- Gently fold in the apple.
- Use a ⅓-cup measuring cup to scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping on top.
- Bake for 17 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon almond milk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more almond milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a drizzleable consistency.
- Drizzle over the cooled muffins.
