Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
- Brush a 12 hole, standard muffin tin with melted butter, or line with paper cases. (Note 3)
- Place butter and brown sugar in a bowl, whisk to combine.
- Add milk, then egg and vinegar. Whisk to combine.
- Scatter flour across batter surface, followed by baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk 10 times until the flour is incorporated - some lumps is fine.
- Stir through apple -minimum stirs just to disperse.
- Scoop batter into muffin tin - I use an ice cream scoop - filling it all the way to the top. If using a scooper, leave it the slight ball shape (see video) - don't smooth the top. You should get 12 (see Note 3).
- Sprinkle with sugar (if using - makes surface slightly crispy), place muffins in the oven.
- Immediately turn down to 180C/350F.
- Bake for 20 minutes (standard) or 18 minutes (fan / convection) , or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Rest in the muffin tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool.
- Once fully cooled, store in an airtight container - it will stay moist for up to 5 days. These also freeze very well.

APPLE CRUNCH MUFFINS
From a TOH recipe booklet on muffins. I love the bits of apple within the muffin and just LOVE the crunchy topping. I've used chopped almonds instead of the walnuts for the topping and it works great so feel free to adjust the nuts in the topping to your liking but don't leave them out as they are a key to the flavors of this muffin.
