  • ½ cup yogurt or sour cream, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk any kind, at room temperature
  • 1 and ½ cups apples peeled & chopped (½-inch chunks; you need about 2 medium apples)

Vanilla Icing (Optional)

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk for a thinner consistency
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • Make the crumb topping: Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter, and then gently mix in the flour using a fork. Set topping aside.
  • Make the muffins: Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter and both sugars together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined. Add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients and beat until no flour pockets remain. Fold in the apples.
  • Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling each to the top. Spoon crumb topping on each, pressing it down.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce temperature to 350°F. Bake for an additional 15–18 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  • Make the icing: Whisk icing ingredients together and drizzle over warm or cooled muffins.

Notes

Iced or plain muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
