Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-ring muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
In another bowl, beat together 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, 0.5 cups of brown sugar, and 0.25 cups of melted unsalted butter until well combined.
Add 0.5 cups of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs to the sugar-butter mixture, and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined.
Fold in 1.5 cups of diced apples into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
For the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cups of rolled oats, 0.5 cups of flour, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a bowl.
Cut in 0.25 cups of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
