1 Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 1.5 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 0.75 cup | Granulated sugar |
| 2 teaspoons | Baking powder |
| 1 teaspoon | Ground cinnamon |
| 0.5 teaspoon | Salt |
| 0.33 cup | Milk |
| 0.33 cup | Vegetable oil |
| 1 unit | Large egg |
| 1 teaspoon | Vanilla extract |
| 2 cups | Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced |
| 0.5 cup | Light brown sugar (for streusel) |
| 0.33 cup | All-purpose flour (for streusel) |
| 0.25 cup | Cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel) |
| 1.5 teaspoons | Ground cinnamon (for streusel) |
2 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with non-stick spray.
In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping: Mix the 0.5 cup brown sugar, 0.33 cup flour, and 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon. Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix or the muffins will be tough. Fold in the diced apples.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over each muffin, pressing down slightly so it sticks to the batter.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
💡 Tips & Tricks
-
·
Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to balance the sweetness of the streusel.
-
·
To prevent the apples from sinking to the bottom, toss the diced pieces in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
-
·
Don't overmix the batter! A few lumps are fine and ensure a light, airy texture.
-
·
For an extra bakery-style touch, add a simple drizzle of powdered sugar and milk glaze once the muffins have cooled.
