• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Stir until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced apple into the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

Step 8

To make the streusel topping, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.

Step 10

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
