HOW DO YOUR APPLE CRUMBLE MUFFINS GET BIG FLUFFY TOPS

Muffins hold a special place in my heart, but here’s the thing: A good muffin is an absolute delight, while a bad muffin is not. So how do you make these amazing oven-baked apple muffins that are big, moist, and incredibly soft? Here are some valuable tips for you:

• Embrace the dynamic duo of milk and Greek yogurt: The combination of the richness of creamy yogurt and the amount of milk is the secret to achieving the perfect rise and explosion of flavor in these apple muffins. And if you don’t have Greek yogurt in your kitchen, don’t worry: plain yogurt works wonderfully too.
• Gentle mixing is essential: To ensure your muffins are moist and tender, avoid overmixing the batter. Simply mix the ingredients together until they come together harmoniously, maintaining the desired crumb texture.
• Temperature is important: To give your muffins that iconic domed top and perfect rise, start baking at a slightly higher temperature for the first 5 minutes. This initial burst of heat adds a little more to the breadcrumbs. After this short period, lower the temperature to ensure your muffins reach perfection without the risk of burning.

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease 12 standard muffin tins and line them with cupcake liners. Set them aside.

• Add the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt, mixing until it starts coming together. Gently fold in the apple pieces with a rubber spatula; the batter will be thick.

• Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the streusel mixture on top of each muffin, pressing it gently into the batter.
• Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and spring back when touched.
