Apple Cinnamon Muffins make for a delicious breakfast that tastes like classic apple pie. Chock full of chopped apples and topped with a light oatmeal crisp, this easy apple muffin recipe is perfect for any morning.
0 Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place muffin liners in a muffin tin, and spritz with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
1 Remove the apple peels. Dice apples in quarter inch cubes. The thinner, the better. Mix with [adjustable]1 tablespoon[/adjustable] of flour and lemon juice so they do not brown. Set aside.
2 Combine the [adjustable]2 cups[/adjustable] of flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until combined, and set aside.
3 In another bowl, combine the applesauce, oil, yogurt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until combined with a whisk or rubber spatula.
4 Pour the flour mixture on top of the wet ingredients, and stir until just combined.
5 Place the chopped apples into the batter and stir until the apples and just coated with the batter.
6 In a small separate bowl, mix the topping, combining the oats, sugars and the cinnamon. Cut the butter into them to create a crumble topping.
7 Spoon batter into muffin tins and top with the oat-sugar-cinnamon mixture. I used a 2-tablespoon scooper for the muffins and used 4 tablespoons of batter per muffin.
8 Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are browned and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
9 Let cool for 5-10 minutes and then enjoy!
