Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup chopped apples (about 1 medium apple)
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  7. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Sprinkle a generous amount of the streusel topping over each muffin.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer 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

  • You can use your favorite type of apple, such as Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp.
  • Ensure your butter for the streusel topping is cold for the best crumbly texture.
  • For added flavor, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
