Ingredients

Muffins

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (59mL) canola oil
  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 1/8 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Coating

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Method

  1. Make the apple butter ahead of time if you are using homemade apple butter.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350F/177C convection (or 325F/162C conventional) and line a muffin tin.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and set aside.
    1 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
  4. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the eggs, sugar and oil until they are fully combined.
    2 large eggs room temperature, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (59mL) canola oil
  5. Beat in the apple butter, sour cream and vanilla until they are fully combined.
    1/2 cup apple butter, 1/8 cup sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla
  6. Fold in the dry ingredients, just until barely combined, but reserve 1-2 Tbsp of flour in the small bowl.
  7. Toss the white chocolate chips with the 1-2 Tbsp of leftover flour. Fold 3/4 of the white chocolate chips in with the batter.
    1 cup white chocolate chips
  8. Use a large ice cream scooper to fill the muffin tins 3/4 full. Add a few extra white chocolate chips to the top of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes (rotate halfway if one side is baking quicker).
  10. While you let the mufffins cool a few minutes, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Once the muffins have cooled, brush them with melted butter and toss them in the cinnamon sugar.
    1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon, 2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
