Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, egg, and milk until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, then add the diced apples.
  5. Prepare the streusel by mixing cold butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon until crumbly.
  6. Spoon the muffin batter into the cupcake liners, sprinkle streusel on top, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
