APPLE CINNAMON MUFFINS WITH CRUMB TOPPING

Ingredients

For the muffins:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 6-ounce container Yoplait® Lactose Free Vanilla Yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup chopped apples
For the crumb topping:
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

Instructions

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, egg and vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir just until combined. Fold in the apples.
• In a small bowl, make the crumb topping. Combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the shortening, and using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Divide the muffin mixture between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle with the crumb topping.
• Bake muffins for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
