Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 2 medium Apples, finely diced (peeled and cored)
• 2 tablespoons Rolled oats (for topping)
• 1 tablespoons Brown sugar (for topping)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients: rolled oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of each muffin.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the comforting flavors of Erna's Apple Pie Muffins!
