Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble; add melted butter and combine until clumps form.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a larger bowl, cream together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and room-temperature butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time along with sour cream and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk until just combined. Fold in diced apples gently.
Fill muffin cups ¾ full with batter and sprinkle crumble topping generously over each muffin.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
