Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Fold chopped apples into the wet mixture.
Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed; avoid overmixing.
For the streusel, mix brown sugar, oats, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl until crumbly.
Fill muffin tins two-thirds full with batter and top generously with streusel.
