We'll start with apple muffins with a crumble topping (also known as a streusel topping)! This topping comes together with an easy mix of flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt.

The key to a great crumble topping is cold butter! This way the butter incorporates into the flour like it would in a pie crust, and results in a tender-crisp texture. It's completely delicious! You'll make this particular topping before making the apple muffin batter.

Here's how you make a cinnamon crumble for apple muffins:
1. Mix together flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
2. Then, add the butter and cut it into the dry mixture until the mixture begins to resemble a texture similar to damp sand.

NOTE: In the video, I misspoke! I said you would add the sugar to the crumble topping using a teaspoon measure. This is wrong! You'll actually be using tablespoon measures for these ingredients. Just follow the printer-friendly recipe linked to above!

That's it! So easy. Now, on to the second topping -- Apple Muffins with Cinnamon-Sugar on top! These muffins are both so good, it will be hard to choose just one.

For Apple Muffins with a cinnamon sugar topping, you'll need granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. You'll make this topping after the apples have finished baking.

Here's how you make the cinnamon sugar topping:
1. In a small bowl with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
2. Once the apples are baked, dip the top of each muffin in the butter and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to generously coat the top.

Toppings are great and all, but what about that perfectly tender, fluffy, cinnamon-spiced Apple Muffin?! Time to talk batter!

This muffin batter comes together so easy. Here's what you'll need:
Apples | The recommended apples for making Apple Cinnamon Muffins are Golden Delicious. They are a softer apple variety and perfect for baking recipes that don’t require a lot of time in the oven.
Flour | Only use all-purpose flour for this recipe.
Brown Sugar | This muffin batter recipe was developed using light brown sugar, but if you only have dark brown sugar on hand, feel free to use it here!
Unsalted Butter | I always recommend using unsalted butter as it will give you complete control over your sodium levels and flavor.
Baking Powder | Be sure not to confuse baking powder with baking soda! Only baking powder should be used for this Apple Cinnamon Muffin Recipe.
Milk | Whole milk is best, but if you only have 2% milk, it can be used in this recipe.
Salt
Cinnamon
Eggs

Now, here's how you make the best Apple Muffins from scratch!
1. Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
2. Mix together brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and mix again until well blended.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix the batter!
4. Toss peeled and diced apples with 2 tablespoons of flour and then fold them into the muffin batter.
5. Have ready a 12-cup muffin tin lined with muffin liners and spritzed with nonstick cooking spray. Fill the muffin cavities about two-thirds of the way full and bake the Apple Cinnamon Muffins at 425°F for about 15 minutes! Allow to cool slightly.

These muffins are perfect for celebrating the arrival of fall or really, during any season! The kids absolutely love them (and so do the adults). Be sure to check out the end of the video where I'll be showing you how to freeze your muffins so you can pull them out on hectic mornings for a quick breakfast on the go!
