Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl (or large measuring cup), whisk together oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use a spatula or spoon to gently stir ingredients together until approximately 50-75% combined. Add apple pieces and continue to stir until ingredients are just combined (over-mixing may result in dense, dry muffins).
  5. Evenly divide batter into prepared muffin tin. Set aside while you prepare your crumb topping.

Crumb Topping

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Drizzle melted butter over the flour mixture and use a fork to toss/claw the mixture together until all of the dry ingredients are moistened and you have a crumbly streusel.
  3. Evenly divide streusel over the muffins.
  4. Transfer to center rack of 375F (190C) oven and bake for 24-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Allow muffins to cool in muffin tin for 10 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack (I use a butter knife to gently pry them up and then lift them from the pan) and allow to cool a bit before enjoying.

Notes

  • A firm apple that you enjoy eating on its own works best for this recipe. I prefer Golden Delicious or Gala apples. Granny Smith are a bit too tart for my taste here.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. These muffins may also be carefully, tightly wrapped and frozen for up to a month.
