Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped apples
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  6. To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter in each muffin cup.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of apple flavor, you can toss the chopped apples with a teaspoon of lemon juice before adding them to the batter.
  • Ensure your butter is cold for the streusel topping; this will create the best crumbly texture.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
