What’s better than an apple muffin? How about one topped with apple crisp?
Everyone loves the crispy part of the apple crisp the best, so why not let it rest on a muffin instead of a pan of apple slices? These muffins have lots of apple flavor, but if you want to add even more, soak the raisins or cranberries (I know there are raisin haters out there!) in Calvados apple liquor for a half hour before adding to the recipe. I’ve used applesauce in this recipe to replace some of the oil; it adds some flavor and a nice texture.Apple Crisp Muffins
Muffins:
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose, unbleached flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- Milk, added to the sour cream to make full cup
- 2 cups diced apples, firm and flavorful
- 1/3 golden raisins or dried cranberries
Topping:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 stick butter
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 apple, finely minced
Vegan alternative:
The dairy and milk are easily substituted here. Swap out a cup of plant milk that you have soured with two teaspoons of white vinegar. Let it set for 10 minutes while you gather the rest of the other ingredients together. Substitute vegan butter, and use an egg replacer such as aquafaba, chick pea liquid, or a tablespoon of ground flax seeds that you have hydrated for 10 minutes in 3 tbsp. water.© Copyright 2020– or current year, The New Vintage Kitchen.
