Ingredients
  

Crumb Topping

  • 1/4 c. brown sugar light or dark
  • 1 1/2 tsp. sugar granulated
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/8 c. butter melted
  • 1/2 c. all-purpose flour/plain flour

Muffin Batter

  • 1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour/plain flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 c. butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar light or dark
  • 1/8 c. sugar granulated
  • 1/2 c. yogurt light or full fat
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 c. milk light or full fat
  • 2 med. Apples peeled and chopped into small cubes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425℉/220℃/Gas Mark 7. Grease your muffin tin with non-stick baking spray or butter.

Crumb Topping

  • Start with making your crumb topping. In a small bowl, combine your brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon together. Stir in your melted butter. Mix in the flour with a fork. Do not overmix as this will turn your crumb topping into a paste. Once mixture looks like crumbs keep in fridge until needed.

Muffin Batter

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and both sugars together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Approximately 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and whisk into the butter and sugar mixture. When both eggs are whisked in, pour in the yogurt and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture again on a medium speed until mixture is mostly combined and creamy. The batter can start to look a little curdled but that is ok.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat on medium speed until fully incorporated. Scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Fold in the apples.
  • Pour your batter into the pre-greased muffin tins filling the tins all the way to the top.
  • Spoon your crumb topping onto the tops of the batter and slightly press it into the batter. Be generous!
  • Bake your muffins at 425℉/220℃/Gas Mark 7 for 5 minutes.
  • After the 5 minutes is up, decrease the temperature to 350℉/180℃/Gas Mark 4 and bake for another 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tins and then transfer to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
