Description

Apple Cinnamon Crumb Muffins are a delightful treat combining warm, spiced apples with a buttery, crumbly topping, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or gatherings.


Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  3. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  4. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  5. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  6. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  7. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  8. 2 large eggs
  9. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  10. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  11. 1/2 cup milk
  12. 1 1/2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 medium apples)
  13. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  14. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  15. 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  16. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  17. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  18. Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the muffin batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the milk and stir until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.

  1. Make the crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Assemble the muffins: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumb topping over the batter in each muffin cup.
  3. Bake the muffins: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the muffins warm, or store them in an airtight container for later.

Notes

  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • These muffins freeze well! Store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.
  • If using frozen apples, thaw and drain them before adding to the batter to avoid excess moisture.
  • For a vegan version, substitute plant-based butter, a flax egg, and non-dairy milk.
  • Feel free to add chopped walnuts or pecans for a nutty crunch.
