- 2 cups (250 g) all purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (100 g) packed light brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- For the crumble topping, mix together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and optional cinnamon in a bowl. Add melted butter and combine until small clumps form; set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon for the muffin batter.
- In a large bowl, beat brown sugar, granulated sugar, and room temperature butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time while mixing well after each addition. Then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add half of the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined. Add milk and stir again before adding the rest of the dry ingredients along with diced apples.
- Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle crumble topping generously over each muffin.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
