Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Allspice (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced small)
- 0.75 cups Graham crackers (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice (if using), and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: applesauce, vegetable oil, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should have some lumps.
Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and brown sugar for the topping. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the graham topping generously over each muffin, pressing down lightly to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
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 the taste of apple pie in muffin form!
