I am quite certain that there is nothing in this world comparable to a warm, freshly baked muffin to wake up to in the morning. Muffins are also one of my hubby’s many favourite morning breakfasts to pack to office. These apple strudel muffins are fairly easy to make. They are moist and packed with flavour. Truly a prefect breakfast on the go or snack.
Preheat oven to 190 degree C. Line a 12 cup muffin pan.
In a medium bowl, mix well flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder and nutmeg.
In a mixing bowl, beat together soften butter and sugar on medium high until it’s smooth, about 5 minutes.
Then add 2 eggs, one at a time and beat until the mixture is smooth again. Now add the vanilla extract and beat to combine.
Fold in the apples, then gradually stir in the dry ingredients.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan. Use an ice-cream scoop for ease and uniformity. If the batter seems a bit stiff, keep in mind the apples will release some moisture when baked.
Time to make the crumbly drizzle topping. To the brown sugar, add the flour and ground cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the strudel topping evenly over the muffins.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
Let the muffins sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
