Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Description
The Apple Cinnamon Muffins start with dry ingredients including flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. The wet ingredients—sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla—are combined separately before mixing with the dry ingredients to create a batter just combined with apple chunks folded in. After filling muffin cups, a crumb topping is made of brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter cut into coarse crumbs, which is sprinkled over the batter before baking at 375°F. Baking takes around 20 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
These muffins balance the warmth of cinnamon with the fresh apple flavor and moistness from applesauce and oil. The crumb topping provides a contrasting crunchy texture. They are suitable for a quick breakfast or snack and keep well in an airtight container once cooled.
Ingredients
Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups apple chopped
Crumb Topping:
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl, stir together the oil and the sugar. Stir in the eggs, applesauce and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Gently stir in the apples.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan, dividing the batter equally between the cups.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a fork or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb over the batter in the muffin pan.
- Bake the muffins until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let the muffins sit in the pan before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container.
