Ingredients:

Cake:

• 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Crumble Topping:

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 4 tablespoons unsalted cold butter

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 muffins tins with paper liners.In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after the addition of each. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream and vanilla. Fold in the apples. Divide the batter equally between the muffin tins, filling each about 2/3 full.

To make the topping, in a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, pecans, and butter, and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the topping over each muffins. Bake until golden brown and set, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before removing from the tins. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Makes 24 muffins.
