Moist Apple Muffins

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1-3/4 cups packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1-1/3 cups buttermilk
• 2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1-3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chopped peeled apples
• 1 medium apple, peeled and cut into 24 slices
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cold butter

1. In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the buttermilk. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture just until moistened. Fold in chopped apples.
2. Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Place sliced apples over batter. For topping, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over tops.
3. Bake at 350u0b0 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.
