How to Make Apple Strudel Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
5. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples).
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
8. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
9. Cut in ¼ cup (½ stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
10. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffin batter.
11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
12. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
