Ingredients

For the Muffins:

240 grams all-purpose flour 2 cups
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
100 grams granulated sugar ½ cup
50 grams brown sugar packed, ¼ cup
113 grams unsalted butter melted, ½ cup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
120 mL milk ½ cup
180 grams apples peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 medium apples)

For the Crumb Topping:

60 grams all-purpose flour ½ cup
67 grams brown sugar packed, ⅓ cup
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
57 grams unsalted butter softened, ¼ cup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well blended.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the diced apples.
In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the topping.
Add the softened butter and blend using a fork or your fingertips until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Evenly distribute the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Carefully transfer the cooled muffins to a serving board. Serve and enjoy!
