Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • Make the crumb topping: Mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Stir in melted butter, then gently mix in flour without over-mixing.
  • Make the muffins: Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugars on high speed until smooth. Add eggs, yogurt, and vanilla, then beat until combined. Gradually add dry ingredients and milk, then fold in apples.
  • Spoon batter into each cup, fill to the top, and add crumb topping.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Make the icing by whisking ingredients together, then drizzle over muffins.
  • Muffins can be stored at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for up to a week.

Notes

Muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Best to freeze without icing and add it before serving. All ingredients should be at room temperature for best results.
