Cinnamon Apple Muffins
This Apple Muffins recipe was inspired by my family's favorite Blueberry Crumb Muffins recipe, but this muffin has the perfect cinnamon flavor with sweet apples throughout. The texture is soft, while the crumb topping adds the perfect sweet crunch to every bite. This easy-to-make recipe will quickly become your go-to treat!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prep - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners and set aside.
2
Make the crumb topping - In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub the mixture together until pea-size crumbs form throughout and the mixture is no longer sandy. Set aside.

4
Mix the wet Ingredients - In a large bowl with a hand mixer (or in a stand mixer), cream together both sugars and butter on high speed for ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate between each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add sour cream and milk and beat on medium speed until well blended.

Combine the batter - Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in 3 additions, gently mixing on low-medium speed. DO NOT OVER MIX- stop when it comes together and there are no dry streaks- the batter will be thick. Scrape down the bowl.
6
Add the apples - Use a spatula to gently fold the diced apples into the batter until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the lined muffin cups (a trigger-release scoop is helpful). It will seem like too much batter, but it works. Top each muffin with about 1 tablespoon of the crumb topping, keeping it toward the center. Lightly press the crumbs down.

Bake at 425°F for ⏱️ 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for ⏱️ 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and enjoy.
