Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F (204° C). Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners and set it aside.
- Make the crumble topping: In a small bowl, stir together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Then add the small pieces of cold butter. Mix with your hands until crumbly (and the crumble are pea-size), cover, and chill in the fridge until ready to use.
- Make the muffins: In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together eggs and granulated sugar until combined. Then mix in Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until the batter becomes pale yellow.
- Mix in the flour mixture into the batter until homogeneous and thick.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling ½ of each cup. Tap the pan onto a countertop to set the batter. Add a heaping Tablespoon of the chopped apple pie filling in each cup, and gently press the apples into the batter using the back of a spoon. Top the filling of each cup with a Tablespoon of the batter and then with the crumble topping.
- Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 375° F (or 190° C). Bake for 19-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes while you make the glaze.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until homogeneous and smooth. If needed, add more powdered sugar (if too thin) or more milk (if too thick). Drizzle over warm muffins and let it set.
Notes
- How to Store Apple Streusel Muffins at Room Temperature
- Store the cool apple cinnamon muffins in a container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep the crunchiness of the crumble topping or streusel, cover the top of the muffins loosely with plastic film instead of using a lid.
- Or you can leave the muffins in the tin and cover them with plastic.
- How to Store Apple Crumb Muffins in the Fridge or Freezer
- Let the apple muffins cool completely and then store them in a ziplock bag or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- You can freeze them for up to 2 months (without the glaze).
- Thaw them overnight in the fridge or on the counter for about 60-90 minutes before serving. If you want, warm them up in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5- 10 minutes.
