Apple Cinnamon Crumb Muffins Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners and spray them with non-stick baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix the applesauce, milk, butter, maple syrup, sugar, apple cider vinegar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda together. Add the flour and mix until a batter is formed.
  • Fill ½ of each muffin well with the batter. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar for the filling on top. Then put the remaining batter on top.
  • In a small separate bowl, prepare your crumb topping by mixing the flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon together. Mix until a crumble forms and add another 1 or 2 tablespoon of flour to reach a crumb consistency. Evenly distribute the crumb topping over each of the unbaked muffins.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and cooked through the center. Option to drizzle with a little icing and enjoy warm or cool!
