Muffins

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ½ cup yogurt or sour cream, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk any kind, at room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups apples peeled & chopped (½-inch chunks; about 2 medium apples)

Vanilla Icing (Optional)

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk for a thinner consistency
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • Make the crumb topping: Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter, then gently mix in the flour. Keep the mixture as large crumbles and do not over-mix. Set topping aside.
  • Make the muffins: Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Using a mixer, beat the butter and both sugars on high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined. With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and milk, then fold in the apples.
  • Spoon the batter into each cup, filling to the top. Spoon the crumb topping on each, gently pressing it down.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

You may need a 2nd pan as this recipe makes up to 14 muffins.
