Best Apple Pie Muffins

I made these tonight to take to Joy for the Journey tomorrow. They are good (kind of a lot of work for just muffins), but you can try them out tomorrow night if you are going!


Ingredients

Topping
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (I had to use more flour than this...not sure how much, just added it until it was more crumbly)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Muffins
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups diced peeled firm tart apples (such as Spy, Granny Smith)

Directions

1. Topping: In a small bowl toss together sugar, flour, butter and cinnamon until crumbly; set aside.


2. Muffins: In a large bowl whisk together brown sugar, oil, egg and vanilla until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, soda and salt.
4. Stir oil mixture into flour mixture alternately with buttermilk.
5. Fold in apples, mixing just until combined.
6. Spoon into greased muffin cups filling 3/4 full.
7. Sprinkle topping over evenly.
8. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and tops spring back.
