Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Apple cider
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Diced apple (peeled, finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for streusel)
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced, for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the tin with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the apple cider, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the cold diced butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it becomes crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
