Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for batter)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for batter)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced apples (peeled)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (for crumble)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumble)
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt for the batter.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the diced apples.
  5. Prepare the crumble topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full with batter.
  7. Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble topping over each muffin.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith for the best texture.
  • For extra flavor, toss the diced apples with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar before folding them into the batter.
  • The key to a tender muffin is mixing the batter only until the dry ingredients disappear.
