Muffins

  • 1 and ¾ cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ½ cup yogurt or sour cream, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk any kind, at room temperature
  • 1 and ½ cups apples peeled & chopped (½-inch chunks; about 2 medium apples)

Vanilla Icing (Optional)

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk for a thinner consistency
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners.
  • Make the crumb topping: Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter, and then gently mix in the flour.
  • Make the muffins: Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the butter and both sugars together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients and milk into the wet ingredients and beat until no flour pockets remain. Fold in the apples.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into each cup or liner, filling each all the way to the top. Spoon crumb topping on each.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes.
  • Make the icing: Whisk all of the icing ingredients together and drizzle over warm or cooled muffins.

Notes

Freeze baked & cooled muffins for up to 3 months. Best to freeze without icing.
