Servings 16 muffins

Equipment

  • 2 Muffin tins with liners. (if you only have one tin thats ok! You will just need to do two batches).
  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk
  • Small Pan
  • Small Bowl
  • Wire rack

Ingredients
  

Crumble topping

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 stick 4oz unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly

Batter

  • 1 stick 4oz unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups small diced golden delicious apples about 2 apples
  • 2 tsp all purpose flour
  • Powdered sugar for dusting, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two muffin tins with liners (if you only have one tin thats ok! you will just need to do two batches).
  • First prepare the crumble. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and kosher salt. Pour in melted butter, and mix using a fork to fully incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients. Break up the mixture with the fork to create a crumble texture. Set aside.
  • Next prepare the batter. In a small pan over medium low heat, add butter and melt.
  • Whisk butter continuously until the butter has browned. Keep an eye on it as this can happen quick!
  • Once the butter is brown, immediately transfer to a large bowl. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Add brown sugar to the large bowl with the browned butter and whisk until incorporated.
  • Add in eggs and whisk until homogenous. (work quick here as the butter may be still warm and we don’t want to cook the egg!)
  • Whisk in applesauce, buttermilk and vanilla. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk 1 3/4 cup flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
  • Add dry into the wet and mix until just moistened. It’s ok if there are a few clumps. Don’t over mix 🙂
  • Toss apples with 2 tsp flour. Fold apples into the batter.
  • Fill muffin tin with batter about 2/3 of the way up.
  • Top each muffin with a generous amount of crumble topping.
  • Bake muffins for 25-30 minutes until muffins are puffed, golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are ok!).
  • Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired!
