Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Whisk until all wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced fresh apricots, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a small bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining the brown sugar, cinnamon, and oats. Mix well until combined.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow for rising.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffin batter in each cup.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla.
- If fresh apricots are not available, you can substitute with canned apricots, just ensure to drain them well.
- These muffins freeze well! Store them in an airtight container for up to three months.
