Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until a crumbly topping forms and set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar, 2/3 cup of vegetable oil, 1 egg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4
In another bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
5
Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture, alternating with 1 cup of buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
6
Gently fold in 2 cups of diced, peeled tart apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
8
Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon topping over the muffins.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should spring back when lightly touched.
