Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped apples (about 1 medium apple)
  • Streusel:
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until blended.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in the chopped apple until evenly distributed.
  6. Make the streusel by mixing the streusel ingredients in a small bowl until they resemble coarse crumbs.
  7. Divide muffin batter evenly among the 12 cups, about 3 tablespoons each.
  8. Sprinkle a generous amount of streusel over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt or buttermilk instead of milk for a tangier muffin. Any crisp apple works; peel if a softer texture is desired.
