I Heart Naptime Apple Snickerdoodle Muffins recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees and line muffin tins with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray (if no liners).

Step 2

To make the batter, stir together 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with the apple cubes, set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer beat together the oil, sugar, and the remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar until combined. Then add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla and mix until smooth.

Step 4

In a third bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and the salt.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the cinnamon apples, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 7

To make the topping, using a fork, stir together the softened butter, sugar, flour, and cinnamon until the mixture is crumbly, set aside.

Step 8

Step 9

Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 11-13 minutes more. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 10

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle the glaze on top of the muffins. Serve and enjoy!

When you drizzle on the topping, it will look like this. Make sure you use softened butter so the topping is more crumbly than a liquid.  But if you do have a liquid, it will still taste really delicious.

I added the glaze once the muffins were finished and cooled. The glaze on top is literally the icing on the cake. It gives the muffin an extra bonus of sugar that brings this recipe together.
