Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and begin making the crumble topping.
- In a small mixing bowl, add together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a fork, stir together, breaking up any lumps from the brown sugar.
- In a microwavable bowl, melt 4 tablespoons or ¼ cup of butter (about 30 seconds). Pour over the sugar mixture with a small spatula and stir until smooth.
- Add one tablespoon at a time of 1/2 cup of flour and lightly stir with the fork. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the crumble topping, lightly toss with a fork, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and whisk well for 30-60 seconds.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla and beat using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth.
- Add the eggs and honey, continuing to beat.
- Finally, add the sour cream, buttermilk, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
- Using your peeled apples, dice into small squares.
- In a small bowl, toss with sugar, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Combine your wet and dry ingredients using a spatula or rubber scraper to create the muffin batter without over mixing it. Add half of your apple filling and gently fold into the batter.
- Using an ice cream scooper, spoon the muffin batter into a degreased muffin tray (you should have about four muffins worth of batter leftover). Spoon the remaining apples onto the tops of the muffin batter and gently press down.
- Using a tablespoon, sprinkle your crumble mixture over the tops of the muffins.
- Once you've put your muffins into the oven, immediately lower the temperature to 350 degrees.
