In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Add the melted butter and use a fork to mix until combined. Place in the fridge while you make the rest.
1/2 cup Brown sugar, 1 tsp Ground cinnamon, 2/3 cup All-purpose flour, 1/4 cup Unsalted butter

Peel and chop the apples into small pieces. You want them small so they can be even throughout the muffin. Add the chopped apples, flour, and cinnamon to a small bowl and mix. Set aside.
1 1/2 cups Gala apples, 2 tsp All-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon

In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour, 2 tsp Ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp Ground ginger, 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg, 2 tsp Baking powder, 1/2 tsp Baking soda, 1/2 tsp Salt
In a large bowl, add oil, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, apple sauce, and milk. Mix with a whisk.
1/2 cup Oil, 3/4 cup Brown sugar, 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract, 2 Large eggs, 1/2 cup Unsweetened apple sauce, 1/2 cup Milk
Add the dry ingredients and mix with a baking rubber spatula until just combined. Add the diced apples and fold it in lightly.
Preheat the oven to 425℉. Line two 12 cup muffin pans with muffin liners. Fill every other hole. Let the muffin batter rest for 10 minutes, it helps with a higher rise.
Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the muffin batter into the liners. Fill it all the way to the top. Take the crumb topping out of the fridge and use your hands to crumble it on top of the batter.
Bake for 5 minutes at 425. Reduce the heat to 350℉. Bake for another 10-13 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the muffins sit in the hot pan for 10 minutes, before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.

Flour- Make sure flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can dry out the muffins

High altitude baking- Add an extra 2 TBSP of flour.
