Ingredients

Muffins:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup neutral oil (I use avocado oil, but vegetable oil can also be used.)
2 eggs lightly beaten
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped apples

Crumb Topping:

1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
In another bowl, stir together the sugar and the oil. Stir in the eggs, applesauce and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup neutral oil, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Gently stir in the apples.
1 1/2 cups chopped apples
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan, dividing the batter equally between the cups.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a fork or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb over the batter in the muffin pan.
1/3 cup light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon butter
Bake the muffins until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let the muffins sit in the pan before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container.
