Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F. Grease and flour or line 16 standard-sized muffin tin cups. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar together until fluffy and well-combined, about 2-3 minutes on medium.
Add the egg and mix until combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Mix in the buttermilk until combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Stir in just until incorporated. Don't overmix.
Stir in the chopped apples.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar over the batter.
Bake the muffins for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Remove muffins to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
