Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
-
Add the egg and mix well, stopping to scrape the bowl if necessary.
-
Beat in the yogurt. The batter will look grainy.
-
Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Beat on low speed until just combined. The batter will be very thick.
-
Add the chopped apples and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
-
Use an ice-cream scooper or large spoon to divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. The cups should be full. Sprinkle the 6 tablespoons of brown sugar evenly over top.
-
Bake the muffins for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffins from the oven, cool them for 5 minutes in the pan, then turn them out onto a rack to finish cooling completely.
