Apple Crisp Muffins

Apple crisp muffins are a delicious combination of traditional apple crisp and muffins. What sets these apple muffins apart is the crumbly streusel topping, mirroring the crispy and crunchy texture of apple crisp.

INGREDIENTS

Muffins

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 granny smith apple, finely chopped

Oat Streusel

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup oats
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cold butter

HOW TO MAKE APPLE CRISP MUFFINS

1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar, then add in the eggs and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then add the milk. Once the batter is thick and smooth, fold in the apple.
5. Place cupcake liners in cupcake tins and fill with batter. The liners should be filled to the top.
6. In a small bowl, combine the oat streusel ingredients until it is the texture of sand. You may need to use your hands to get it evenly mixed. Sprinkle on top of the muffin batter.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
