Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ¼ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt) (room temperature)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk (room temperature)
- 1 ½ cups diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400° F. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners and set it aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and optional cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and mix until small clumps form. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, optional nutmeg, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until well mixed. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Then add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Add half of the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture and mix just until combined. Then add milk and mix again. Fold in the remaining dry ingredients and diced apples until just combined.
- Divide the batter among prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Generously sprinkle the crumble mixture over each muffin.
- Bake at 400° F for about twenty minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
