Ingredients
Scale
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1.5 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
1.5 tbsp light brown sugar
2 tsp granulated sugar
Pinch salt
0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
1.5 tbsp diced apples (optional)
1.5 tbsp room temperature full-fat sour cream
5 tbsp pure canned pumpkin
1 tbsp apple juice
3 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 large room temperature egg yolk
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
0.5 cup fresh diced apple
Instructions
In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1.5 tbsp light brown sugar, 2 tsp granulated sugar, pinch salt, and 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon. Cut in 1.5 tbsp cold unsalted butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in optional 1.5 tbsp diced apples. Chill.
In a separate bowl, whisk 1.5 tbsp room temperature full-fat sour cream, 5 tbsp pure canned pumpkin, 1 tbsp apple juice, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, 2 tbsp light brown sugar, 1 large room temperature egg yolk, and 0.5 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in 0.5 cup fresh diced apple.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 2 standard muffin cups. Divide the muffin base mixture evenly into the prepared cups. Sprinkle generously with the chilled crumb topping. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm as a breakfast treat, snack, or dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2-3 months.
