Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for crumb topping)
- 1 ½ tablespoons light brown sugar, packed (for crumb topping)
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (for crumb topping)
- Pinch salt (for crumb topping)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
- 1 ½ tablespoons diced apples (for crumb topping)
- 1 ½ tablespoons full-fat sour cream, room temperature (for muffins)
- 5 tablespoons pure canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling, for muffins)
- 1 tablespoon apple juice (for muffins)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for muffins)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed (for muffins)
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature (for muffins)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for muffins)
- ½ cup fresh apple, cubed (e.g., Honeycrisp, for muffins)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 ½ tbsp light brown sugar, 2 tsp granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 ½ tbsp diced apples. Cut in 1 ½ tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter with your fingertips or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line or lightly grease one standard muffin cup (or a small ramekin).
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ tbsp full-fat sour cream, 5 tbsp pure canned pumpkin, 1 tbsp apple juice, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, 2 tbsp light brown sugar, 1 large egg yolk, and ½ tsp vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Gently fold in ½ cup cubed fresh apples.
- Pour the muffin mixture into the prepared muffin cup. Generously sprinkle the prepared crumb topping over the top of the batter. Place in the preheated oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the center is set and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffin to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes. Carefully transfer the warm muffin to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
