Sorry for the lack of updates.. I’ve been busy.. err.. more like lazy.. heh.
I’ve done these muffins a while back.. and of course I made some adjustment to the recipe ..

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup white sugar [I used 1/2 cup white sugar & 1/2 cup brown sugar]
2 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups chopped apples [I used 2 apples.. I shredded one apple and chopped the other one into small pieces]
[I also added one teaspoon of cinnamon]

::Topping::
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Method

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. In a large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and eggs until smooth. Mix in vanilla. Stir in apples, and gradually blend in the flour mixture. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan.
5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture is like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over tops of mixture in muffin pan.
6. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to sit 5 minutes before removing muffins from pan. Cool on a wire rack.

One word - Delicious!
