How to Make Apple Cranberry Crumble Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold until just combined.
  5. Fold in 2 cups diced apples and 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries.
  6. For the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full with the muffin batter.
  8. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of crumble topping over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
