Apple Pie Muffins

Neighbour Lady was super nice and power washed a part of our house. Lol. So I baked some muffins for her. Originally I wanted to make pie. But I'm always so unlucky when it comes to pie crusts. And I wanted to make an excuse to use my Winnie the Pooh muffin cup liners so I made Apple Pie Muffins lol

These are crazy moist. Neighbour Lady ate two right after I gave them to her the next day. I shared one with K (or rather h had the topping while I ate the rest of the muffin). Super yummy.

• 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp salted butter, melted & divided
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 1/2 Tbsp white vinegar in enough milk to make 1 cup of "sour milk"

1. To make the topping, combine 1 Tbsp of melted butter, 3 Tbsp of flour, 3 Tbsp of packed brown sugar and cinnamon until well blended in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. To make the "sour milk" mixture, add vinegar and pour in enough milk to reach the 1 cup line in a liquid measuring cup. Set aside.

4. In a large bowl, stir together the baking soda, salt and rest of the flour. Set aside.

6. Spoon into the prepared muffin tin, filling the cups to the top. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the topping.
7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when lightly pressed.
