How to Make Apple Crunch Cakelets Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Peel and dice 1-2 cups apples (depending on your preference). Gently fold the apples into the batter.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Sprinkle each muffin generously with 1-2 tablespoons packed brown sugar.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
