Ingredients
- Muffins
-
3/4 C plus 2 Tbsp 2% milk
-
1/4 cup
vegetable oil
-
1
large egg
-
1 cup
organic whole wheat flour
-
1 cup
organic white flour
-
1/2 cup
organic cane sugar
-
1 teaspoon
cinnamon divided
-
2 tablespoons
baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
1 1/4 cups
diced apples
-
1 1/2 teaspoons
organic cane sugar
- Streusel
-
1/4 cup
organic packed light brown sugar
-
1/4 cup
organic white flour
-
1/4 teaspoon
cinnamon
-
2 tablespoons
softened butter
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400ºF and lightly grease your muffin tin with butter.
-
Dice your apples and coat in 1 1/2 tsp of organic cane sugar and 1/8 tsp of cinnamon. Set aside and let them soak in the sugar and cinnamon for a few minutes.
-
In a large mixing bowl combine all of your muffin ingredients except for the apples. For the cinnamon, add 3/4 tsp to the mix. Stir to combine, taking care not to over mix.
-
To make your streusel, add all of the ingredients together in a small bowl and work them together with a fork until crumbles form.
-
Fold the apples, which have been soaking in cinnamon sugar, into the muffin mix.
-
Spoon the batter into your muffin tin so that it is evenly divided to make 12 muffins. I find that using an ice cream scoop for this task makes it easier. Then evenly sprinkle each muffin with the streusel topping.
-
Bake on the middle rack of a 400ºF oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown. After removing them from the oven, allow them to sit for 5 minutes and then gently remove them from the muffin tin. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
