Baking Tips for the Best Muffins


Choosing the Right Apples - Use firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best balance of sweetness and acidity. If using sweeter apples (like Gala), reduce the sugar slightly.


Don’t overmix the batter - this can make the muffins dense. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.


Use melted butter instead of softened butter for a richer, more tender crumb.


The muffin batter will initially be thick, but after adding the apples, it will become slightly looser due to the moisture released from the apples.

Make sure the butter is cold to create a crumbly, crunchy topping - If you want an even crispier topping, refrigerate the crumb mixture for 10 minutes before using.


Baking the muffins at a high temperature for the first 5 minutes, then lowering it, helps quickly lift the muffin tops.


Storage & Freezing - Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.

How to Prepare Apple Cinnamon Crumb Muffins


1. Prepare the Topping

Combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a fork (or your fingers), rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Do not overmix - the mixture should remain crumbly. Set aside.



2. Prepare the Muffin Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a handheld mixer), add the butter, sugar, and eggs.



Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then increase to high speed and mix until the mixture is light and creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined - the batter will be thick.



Using a spatula, gently fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed.



Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over each muffin.



3. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
