Prob-APPLE Cause CRUMB MUFFINS






What you need for the…

CRUMB TOPPING:
1/3 cup light or dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup all-purpose flour



MUFFINS:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup light sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup yogurt
2 tps vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups peeled, chopped apple (approx. 2 small apples)

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract




How you make the…

CRUMB TOPPING:
In a medium bowl, combine the white and brown sugars, the cinnamon, and the melted butter. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the flour. The crumb topping will be thick and crumbly. Set aside.

Now, preheat oven to 425F degrees. Spray or line a muffin tin with nonstick spray.

MUFFINS:
Make the muffins: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy. Next, add in the brown and white sugars and beat on high until creamed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then turn up to high speed until the mixture is combined and uniform in texture. Don’t forget to scape down the sides!

In a bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Then pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and slowly mix. Add the milk, whisking until combined and little lumps remain. Lastly, fold in the apples with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.

Spoon the muffin batter evenly between all of the muffin tins, making sure to fill the muffin tins until they are full. Go all the way up to the top!

GLAZE:
Mix all of the ingredients together.
ASSEMBLY:

Now, crumble the topping with your hands to make some big chunks, and press it into the top of the muffins.

Bake for 5 minutes at 425F degrees, then lower the oven temperature to 350F degrees and bake for an extra 15-17 minutes. You want them to be nice and golden brown.

When done, drizzle the glaze over warm muffins and enjoy! Nom nom nom!

  1. These were phenomenal, although I tweaked your recipe slightly. Instead of using yogurt I used fresh badger milk imported from the Mongolian Steppe. Aside from this modification, I broke the recipe down and mixed the ingredients in groups of two. Once all groups of two were mixed, I poured milk down my shorts, put a spatula in my toaster, and then mixed all the ingredients together while wearing lipstick and singing "you're simply the best" by Tina Turner. I've found that this particular combination of preparation really accentuates the vanilla and cinnamon flavor combination. Cheers!
