Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups of rolled oats, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together 0.5 cups of melted unsalted butter, 0.75 cups of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in 1.5 cups of diced apples until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

To prepare the crumble topping, combine 0.25 cups of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 0.25 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of cold, cubed unsalted butter in a small bowl.
