Apple Cinnamon Muffins


We've had a lot of food with pumpkin lately, so I started looking for something that tasted like fall (If fall was a flavor), but wasn't pumpkin and I found these muffins. They are so good! They are soft inside, but have just a little bit of a crunch with the apples inside and the crumbles on top!

The original recipe said it made 6 muffins, but mine made 12. The apples make up about half of the batter, if you want less, just use 1 apple. The crumble topping wasn't so crumbly when I made it, it was kind like a paste which is one of the reasons I added the oats. If you did 1/4 cup of butter instead of 1/2 cup, it would probably be more crumbly.

Ingredients:
  Muffins                                                 Crumble Topping
1 1/2 cups of flour                                 1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup of white sugar                            1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt                                           1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder                              1/2 cup butter, cubed
1 tsp. ground cinnamon                          1/2 cup oats (optional)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
2 apples, peeled and cubed

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) Grease muffin pan or line with paper muffin cups.

   Muffins
Mix together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix in oil, egg, and milk. Fold in apples. Spoon mixture into the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top

  Crumble Topping
In a small bowl, add sugar, flour, cinnamon, butter, and oats. (if the butter isn't soft enough to mix it all together, heat the whole thing for 10-20 seconds in the microwave) Mix together with a fork and sprinkle (or spread) over the top of the unbaked muffins



Bake for 20-25 minutes, to check if they are done, put a toothpick in the middle of a muffin and pull it out, if it comes out clean they're done, if not, bake them for 2-5 minutes longer until they are done.

Let cool about 5 minutes before taking them out of the pan, then enjoy!
