Ingredients (for 12 servings):

For the muffins:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped apples

For the streusel topping:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cooking Tips:

- Use a muffin tin with paper liners to make it easier to remove the muffins from the pan.
- Be sure to chop the apples into small pieces so they cook evenly in the muffins.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can make the muffins tough and dry.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Fold in the chopped apples.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the streusel topping.
7. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
8. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffins.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
