Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for streusel topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for streusel topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 0.5 cups of melted butter, 0.5 cups of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 large egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the finely chopped Granny Smith apple.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
To make the streusel topping, combine 0.25 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cups of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of softened butter and use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Apple Strudel Muffins!
