1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups buttermilk
4 cups flour
3 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups peeled McIntosh apples, sliced in 1/2-inch pieces (2 to 3 medium)
Additional brown sugar to top muffins

With rubber spatula, cream butter and sugars by hand until fluffy. Add eggs and cream; beat until fluffy. Blend in buttermilk. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Mix until all lumps have dissolved; do not overmix. Add apples. (Batter will be thicker than typical muffin batter.) Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat jumbo muffin cups with non-stick vegetable cooking spray. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling to top. Top each muffin with brown sugar. Bake in preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until done. Makes 12 muffins.
