Easy Apple Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel

Step 1: Preheat oven and prepare apples [00:46]

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Peel, dice, and toss the apples with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the muffin batter [01:37]

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of melted unsalted butter, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1 cup of sour cream, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix well until combined. Add 1.5 cups of white granulated sugar and mix again.

Step 3: Combine dry ingredients [02:37]

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and a pinch of freshly ground nutmeg.

Step 4: Mix and add apples [03:00]

Sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Use a mixer to combine. Once incorporated, fold in the diced, floured apples using a spatula.

Step 5: Make the streusel topping [03:33]

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of grated, frozen unsalted butter. Mix with your fingers until crumbly. Stir in 1 tablespoon of milk or cream.

Step 6: Fill muffin tins and bake [04:26]

Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Fill each cup 3/4 full with the batter. Top each muffin with a sprinkle of the streusel. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
