Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line muffin pans with paper baking cups.
For the apples, combine the diced apples in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl with about ½ inch of water and microwave for 2 minutes until slightly translucent. Drain and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
For the topping, mix all topping ingredients in a medium bowl using a fork. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine eggs with sugar and oil, mixing until creamy. Add vanilla, vinegar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Incorporate sour cream, then gently mix in flour using a wooden spoon until just combined (batter may be lumpy). Stir in the apples.
Fill the muffin cups two-thirds full with batter—about ¼ cup per cup. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffins.
Bake for 15-19 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month.

Notes

Ensure the apples are diced very small for even cooking and flavor distribution.
The batter will be slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
For a variation, add nuts or raisins to the batter before baking.
