Homemade Apple Cinnamon Muffins are made with fresh apples and a crumble topping. Kids and adults will love these muffins for breakfast, brunch or snack!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 12 count muffin tin or line with paper liners; set aside.
To make the topping:
In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Stir in flour using a rubber spatula until mixture is crumbly.
To make the muffins:
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk together sugars and oil until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking each. Whisk in the applesauce and vanilla until well combined. Whisk flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined, then gently fold in the apple chunks.
Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full. Sprinkle some crumble topping on top of each muffin, leaving some big chunks.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wire racks. Enjoy!
