¼ cup packed light brown sugar
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
2 cups all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble. Mix in melted butter until clumps form; set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and room-temperature butter until fluffy. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla; mix well.
Gradually incorporate half of the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Add milk and then the remaining dry ingredients. Gently fold in diced apples.
Fill muffin cups three-quarters full with batter and top with crumble mixture.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cooling before serving.
