3.    In a large bowl, mix sour cream, cooled butter, and sugar until fluffy.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix again.
4.    In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
5.    Slowly add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture, do not overmix.

9.   Top muffins and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

    Yum! Looks so good. Love the idea of the graham cracker crumbs in the topping! I use graham cracker crumbs in my apple crisp topping and love it.

    These look delicious! I want to make these. I'm been trying to find cinnamon chips in my area. Did you buy them at a regular grocery store or online?

    Hi, Just baked these, and the house smells sooo gooood! How many muffins does this recipe make, though? My muffins are pretty big, and I made 18!! Next time I’ll plan for the recipe to make 24. Am I right? Thanks.

    I made these yesterday, and I have to say I was kind of hesitant to make them after I saw 3 tsps. of baking soda and the 375 degree temp. But against my better judgement, I made them and followed it to a tee. I think there’s too much baking soda. I could taste it in the muffins afterrwards. Not overpowering but enough for me to notice it. Not only that but I thought the temperature was too high. I baked mine for 14 minutes and the bottoms were a little black already. All in all, it was an okay recipe. If I do make it again, I’d cut down the baking soda to 1 tsp. and lower the temp. to 350.

    I’ve made quite a few of your recipes (all delicious, btw) and I just made these last night. They had a good overall taste, but next time I will add 2 or 3x more apple. Thanks for all the great recipes! You are an inspiration!

    They were so yummy!! Did you find that the bottom of the cupcake wrapper was very “wet”? I’m sure it was just because of the apples, but I don’t know if there was a way to fix this!
