Serves: 18 Muffins
 
Ingredients
Muffin
  • ½ cup shortening
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup dairy-free sour cream
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1½ tsp. baking soda
  • ¾ tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1½ cups peeled and chopped apples (1-2 apples)
Crumb Topping
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup oil
Icing
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • ½-1 Tbs. water
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin or cupcake pans with 18 liners and set aside.
Cupcakes
  1. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the shortening, brown sugar, and honey until smooth.
  2. Mix in the eggs and sour cream and beat until smooth.
  3. Slowly add in the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  4. Peel and core the apples and then dice them into small pieces. Stir them into the batter.
  5. Divide the batter between the cupcake pans, filling each about ¾ of the way full.
Crumb Topping
  1. In a small bowl, mix the xugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the oil and mix until large crumbs form.
  2. Sprinkle about 1 Tbs. of topping on each muffin.
  3. Bake for about 15 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and spring back to the touch.
  4. Allow to cool before adding the icing.
Icing
  1. In a small bowl, pour in the powdered sugar. Slowly sir in a bit of water at a time until the icing is a nice thick consistency. Use a spoon to drizzle a bit of icing on each muffin. I prefer to fill a disposable pastry bag with the icing and drizzle it that way. You can also use a Ziploc bag and snip the tiniest hole in the corner.
