Apple Cinnamon Muffins with Walnut Crumb Topping

These apple cinnamon muffins are soft, cozy, and filled with little pieces of apple, warm cinnamon, and crunchy walnuts. 🍎🤎 They’re finished with a buttery walnut crumb topping that gets golden and crisp while the muffins stay soft and tender underneath. This is such a simple fall bake — no special equipment needed, just mix, top, and bake. I made these on a cloudy day, which somehow made the warm cinnamon and apple smell even cozier. ☁️🍂 This recipe makes 12 muffins 🍎 Walnut Crumb Topping 80g all-purpose flour 80g brown sugar 50g walnuts, chopped 1/2 tsp cinnamon 56g / 1/4 stick melted butter 🍎 Apple Cinnamon Muffins 240g all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 120g brown sugar 56g / 1/4 stick melted butter 50g neutral oil (I used olive oil) 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 60g Greek yogurt or sour cream 300g diced apples (about 2 apples) How to Make Make the crumb topping first 1. Add the flour, brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon to a bowl and mix together. 2. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Place the crumb topping in the fridge while you make the muffin batter. Make the muffin batter 1. In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted butter, and oil until smooth. 2. Add the eggs, vanilla, and Greek yogurt or sour cream. Mix until smooth and combined. 3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until about halfway combined. 4. Add the diced apples and gently fold until everything is just combined. 5. Divide the batter into a muffin pan, then generously add the chilled crumb topping over each muffin. Gently press the crumbs into the batter so they stick while baking. 6. Bake at **400°F / 200°C for 22–24 minutes**, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick comes out clean. 7. Let them cool slightly, then enjoy them warm with a cup of coffee or tea. ☕🍎 Soft, buttery, cinnamon-y, and full of apples — the kind of bake that feels especially nice on a quiet fall day. 🤎 Thank you for watching♡
