Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 3 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup butter or margarine, melted

  • 1 ½ cups chopped, peeled tart apples

TOPPING:

  • ¼ cup sugar

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons cold butter or margarine

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, beat the eggs, sour cream and butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cusp two-thirds full.

  2. For topping, combine sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle a rounded teaspoonful over each muffin.
