Ingredients

Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 4 Tablespoons butter chilled

Muffin Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter melted (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled and chopped apples about 2 large apples

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a jumbo 6-count muffin pan (or 12-count muffin tin) with nonstick spray or line with muffin liners.
  • In a medium bowl, combine crumble ingredients: brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Use a pastry cutter to work in butter until the texture resembles sand.

  • Next for the muffins, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then turn up to high speed until the mixture is combined and mostly creamy.
  • Scrape down the sides if needed. With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients and beat. Fold in the apples.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into each cup filling them all the way to the top. Then sprinkle the crumb topping on the tops of the batter, gently pressing it into the batter and baking in batches to get 12 jumbo muffins.
    press the topping on to the top of the apple crisp muffins with streusel topping.
  • Bake for 20-23 minutes. While muffins are baking, prepare your glaze by mixing all the ingredients. Let muffins cool for a few minutes on a cooling rack before transferring to a plate and drizzling with the glaze.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
  • This recipe makes  12 jumbo muffins or 14 regular-sized muffins. So, if using a regular-sized muffin pan, you'll need to bake in batches. Add a small bit of water to any muffin cups in the pan that don't have batter so they don't burn on the bottom.
