  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apple peeled and grated
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Glaze

  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

Apple Muffins

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine light brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and grated apple. Whisk to combine.
  • Add in all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined.
  • Add in milk and continue to mix until the batter is well incorporated.
  • Fold in the diced apple until well dispersed throughout the batter.
  • Portion into the muffin liners using a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons).

Streusel Topping

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until a crumbly streusel forms.
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffin batter.

Bake

  • Bake the muffins for approximately 22-24 minutes, until the tops of the muffins are firm when gently touched.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

Glaze

  • In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
