Ingredients
Crumb Topping:
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅔ cup all purpose flour or whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup salted butter melted
Muffins:
- 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour 8.2 ounces
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup buttermilk or sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups diced apples about 6 ounces, or 2 large apples
Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp cream or milk more or less
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of cinnamon
- dash of salt
Instructions
- For topping: Combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Gently stir in melted butter just until flour is moistened and mixture is crumbly. Refrigerate while you prepare the muffin batter.
- Spray 12 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 425°. Peel and chop the apples.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients and stir just until barely combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Divide batter between the 12 cups. (They will be about 3/4 full.) Sprinkle the cold topping evenly over the muffins.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350° and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the middles are set.
- Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove to cooling racks.
- For glaze, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth, adding cream as needed. Drizzle over the tops of the muffins.
