Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream room temperature
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples
Topping:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup melted butter
Icing (optional):
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or spray the pan generously with nonstick spray.
- Prepare topping: Mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and flour in a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter and combine with a fork or whisk until crumbly. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar on high speed for 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream and mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Scrape the sides.
- Stir in the flour on low speed until just combined. Then mix in the apples. The batter will be thick.
- Portion the batter into each muffin cup, filling to the top of the liner. Divide the topping mixture over each muffin and gently press into the batter.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- To prepare the icing, whisk the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Drizzle over the muffins and serve.
