Equipment

  • 1 cupcake tin

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup whole milk buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup butter melted, plus 2 T for topping
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 cup diced peeled apples from about 2 Granny Smith apples
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp. melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375. Take out a dozen muffin tin and coat with baking spray or butter. If you’re doubling the recipe and using multiple racks, I like to cook on convection.
  • Mix the dry ingredients, flour through salt. In a separate bowl mix the egg through vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients then stir in the apples.
  • Stir until just combined and then using a little muffin scoop or tablespoon, divide into greased muffin tins.
  • It’s time to make the crumb topping. Mix the brown sugar through butter and spoon onto muffins evenly.
  • Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes or until center comes out clean when tested with a toothpick.

Notes

I tend to double every recipe now, or more.  These muffins remind me of something you'd find at a bakery.  If they aren't eaten all up, they freeze great!
