Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, separated
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups finely diced apple (peeled Golden Delicious or yellow apple), tossed in 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (for crumble topping)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for crumble topping)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for crumble topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a greased 12-cup muffin tin lined with muffin liners.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually whisk in the melted butter.
  4. Incorporate the dry ingredients: Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture using a sturdy spoon. Stir gently just until combined; be careful not to overmix.
  5. Add the apples: Toss the finely diced apples with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Fold them into the batter until just incorporated.
  6. Fill the muffin liners: Spoon the batter into the muffin liners, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
  7. Prepare the crumble topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until it forms a sandy texture. Sprinkle a tablespoon over each muffin.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use sweet and firm apples for the best flavor and texture. Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for variation.
