Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups diced apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ cup milk (room temperature)
¼ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a bowl, combine crumble ingredients: flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until clumpy.
In another bowl, whisk together dry ingredients for the muffins: flour, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter until fluffy. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla; mix well.
Gradually incorporate half of the dry mixture into the wet mixture followed by milk. Finally, fold in the remaining dry mixture and diced apples.
Fill muffin cups three-quarters full and top generously with crumble mixture.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
