- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cups (62g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted

- 1 cup (245g) sour cream
- 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line muffin pans with paper baking cups.
- For the filling, place diced apples in a bowl, add about 1/2 inch of water, microwave for 2 minutes until slightly translucent but not fully cooked. Drain, then mix with sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix all topping ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.

- Pour batter into muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumb topping on each muffin.
- Bake for 15-19 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a rack.
- Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding walnuts or pecans to the batter.
Ensure the apples are diced small for even distribution and cooking.
Experiment with different types of apples for varying sweetness.
