Delicious Apple Strudel Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Apple Strudel Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take a 12-cup muffin tin and either grease it or line it with cheerful paper liners to make cleanup a breeze.

3. Step 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until everything is nicely blended.

4. Step 4

   Now, in a larger bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy, like a warm hug.

5. Step 5

   Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition, and then stir in the delightful aroma of vanilla extract.

6. Step 6

   Gently fold in the chopped apples, letting their sweetness shine through, and then gradually add the flour mixture, stirring just until everything is combined—remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine; we want to avoid overmixing! Next, scoop the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for some lovely rising.

7. Step 7

   For a deliciously crunchy topping, mix together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl, then cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs—this will add a delightful texture to your muffins.

8. Step 8

   Sprinkle this topping generously over each muffin, because who doesn’t love a little extra sweetness? Now, pop the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, signaling that they’re perfectly baked.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re done, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, allowing the warm, inviting aroma to fill your kitchen, before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    And there you have it—your scrumptious Apple Strudel Muffins are ready to be enjoyed! Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or any time you crave a little comfort.
