Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter in each muffin cup.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moist muffins, use a combination of apples.
  • You can make the streusel topping ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
