Raspberry Lemon Crumb Muffins

Recipe Description

These delicious Raspberry Lemon Crumb Muffins combine two fantastic flavors – raspberry and lemon. I always find that the tanginess of raspberry and lemon helps to cut through the sweetness of desserts, especially if you’re like me and you don’t have such a sweet tooth! 

In this recipe, I substitute half the butter with unsweetened applesauce, but if you prefer a richer muffin, you could use all butter. I mix all the ingredients together in stages to make these muffins. To make the crumb topping, I combine flour, butter, sugar and a pinch of salt. Everyone loves the crunchy texture of the topping combined with the soft fruitiness of the muffin. 

To make Raspberry Lemon Crumb Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:
