  • We used cupcake liners in our muffin tin, less clean up. Or spray a 12 count muffin pan with non-stick spray.  We made 16 muffins with this recipe.  So either have a 6 count pan handy or you can always bake in two batches!  Set Aside.
  • To make the muffins we used a Kitchen Aid Blender with the paddle.  However, a normal blender I am sure will be fine!  Beat the butter and both sugars together until creamy.  Add the eggs, yogurt and vanilla extract.  Beat on medium for 1 minute.  The turn to high speed until mixture is combined.  Scrape down sides and bottom, to assure a consistent and uniform texture.

  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a separate bowl.  Pour mixed dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.  Add the milk, chopped apples and mix on low speed until everything is combined.
  • Spoon batter evenly into each cup or liner.  Fill 3/4 full.  Sprinkle crumb topping onto the top of each muffin.  Use a spoon to slightly press crumbs into batter.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees.  Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional 13-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  The total time in the oven should be approximately 19-21 minutes.
