Bake these Cinnamon Apple Crumble Muffins for a warm, comforting treat. They feature a soft, moist interior packed with apple and cinnamon, topped with a perfectly crisp crumble.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 1 3/4 cups
  • Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup (for batter)
  • Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
  • Unsalted butter, softened: 1/2 cup
  • Large eggs: 2
  • Milk: 1/2 cup
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Apples, peeled and diced (like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith): 1 cup
  • For the Crumble Topping:
  • All-purpose flour: 1/2 cup
  • Brown sugar, packed: 1/4 cup
  • Ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces: 3 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Prepare the crumble topping first. In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set this aside in the refrigerator.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 3/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula only until just moistened. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Fold in the diced apples gently.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Remove the crumble topping from the refrigerator and sprinkle generously over the top of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use crisp, slightly tart apples for the best texture and flavor balance.
  • Do not overmix the batter; this keeps your muffins tender.
  • Chill the crumble topping until the moment you use it for maximum crunch.
