  11. Sprinkle a spoonful of the cinnamon sugar ripple over the tops of all of the muffins.

  12. Scoop roughly 2 Tablespoons more of the batter on top of the cinnamon ripple. Use a toothpick or skewer if needed to spread the batter to the edge of the muffin pan.

  13. Top each muffin with 1 Tablespoon of crumble, and gently press down with your fingers to help crumble stick to the muffin tops.

  14. Place the muffins in the oven and bake at 400°F for 6 minutes, then without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 18-20 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  15. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
