Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Muffins:

  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (or buttermilk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (200g) peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

For the Crumb Topping:

  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Glaze (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick spray.
  2. Make the Crumb Topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Combine and Add Apples: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in diced apples.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
  7. Add Crumb Topping: Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin.
  8. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Glaze: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, drizzle with glaze before serving.

Notes

  • For a nutty twist, add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
  • These muffins freeze well! Wrap tightly and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
