Categories     Muffins

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp honey
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream or plain whole milk yogurt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp lemon juice
2 medium apples, peeled
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice

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.
  • Bake for 14-17 minutes, rotating tray once halfway. Move the muffins to a cooling rack as soon as they're ready, let cool, and enjoy!
