Ingredients
  

For Muffins
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar firmly packed (100 g)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ½ cup canola oil (120 ml) may substitute vegetable oil or other neutral cooking oil
  • ½ cup buttermilk (120 ml)
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups peeled chopped apples (215 g)
For Crumb Topping
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (156 g)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar firmly packed (100 g)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (66 g)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted but cooled so no longer warm to the touch (85 g)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl (or large measuring cup), whisk together oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use a spatula or spoon to gently stir ingredients together until approximately 50-75% combined. Add apple pieces and continue to stir until ingredients are just combined (over-mixing may result in dense, dry muffins).
  5. Evenly divide batter into prepared muffin tin. Set aside while you prepare your crumb topping.
  6. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt.
  7. Drizzle melted butter over the flour mixture and use a fork to toss/claw the mixture together until all of the dry ingredients are moistened and you have a crumbly streusel.
  8. Evenly divide streusel over the muffins.
  9. Transfer to center rack of 375F (190C) oven and bake for 24-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Allow muffins to cool in muffin tin for 10 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack (I use a butter knife to gently pry them up and then lift them from the pan) and allow to cool a bit before enjoying.
