Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups of rolled oats, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 0.5 cups of melted unsalted butter, 0.75 cups of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in 1.5 cups of diced apples until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
To prepare the crumble topping, combine 0.25 cups of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 0.25 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of cold, cubed unsalted butter in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the top of each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Oat and Apple Crumble Top Muffins!
