Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped apples (about 1 medium apple, firm varieties like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji recommended)

Streusel Topping

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly blended.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until moistened. It’s important not to overmix; some lumps are fine to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Apples: Gently fold in the chopped apples to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without breaking them down.
  6. Make Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture forms coarse crumbs, creating a crunchy topping.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Add Streusel and Bake: Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they hold their shape and finish setting.

Notes

  • Use firm apple varieties like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji for the best texture and flavor in the muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter; overmixing leads to tough muffins instead of light and fluffy ones.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
