Maple Apple Muffins

For the muffins:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Fill two 12-count muffin tins with liners. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the brown sugar and the butter. Then add the eggs and mix on low until well blended.

In a large bowl sift together flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Then slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture while mixing on low.

Add yogurt and vanilla extract and mix it in. Then add maple syrup and continue to mix on low until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Lastly, add the chopped apples and mix until apple pieces are well distributed.

Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin liners. Then make the topping.

For the topping:
In a small bowl mix together the sugar, flour, oats and cinnamon. Blend with a fork, making sure there are no lumps.

Melt the butter in a glass container in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Then pour over the dry mixture. Blend with a fork until mixture becomes crumbly. Evenly distribute the crumble mixture over muffin batter.

Then place muffin tins in the oven and bake at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out dry.
