Apple Streusel Muffins
Ingredients:
(Muffin)
– 2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
– 2 cups flour
– 2/3 cup white sugar
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1 tsp salt
– 2 large eggs
– 3/4 cup milk
– 1/4 cup butter, melted
– 2 tsp cinnamon
(Streusel Topping)
– 1/2 cup flour
– 1/4 cup butter, melted
– 1/3 cup brown sugar
– Cinnamon for sprinkling
Steps:
(1) Preheat oven to 400. Line a muffin tin with cupcake wrappers.
(2) In a large bowl, mix together wet and dry ingredients for the muffins until well combined.
(3) Gently stir in chopped apple.
(4) Scoop about 1/4 cup batter into each cupcake liner — the cups should be 2/3 full. Set aside
(5) In a medium bowl, mix together ingredients for streusel topping.
** The original recipe called for 1/4 cup flour to be used for the streusel, but I found that the mixture was way too runny with just that amount. I kept adding more flour a little at a time until the topping became crumbly and was recognizable as streusel. 1/2 cup is my best guess at the total amount used.
(6) Spoon streusel topping on top of the batter in each muffin cup. Use as much as you want — I sprinkled enough to cover the entire top.
(7) Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of the streusel.
(8) Bake for 20-25 minutes.
(9) Enjoy warm with a glass of milk.
