Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins
Test Kitchen Notes; if you are making a double recipe do not double the recipe into one bowl make two separate recipes in two bowls, since there is a large amount of baking powder make certain not fill the batter to the top of the muffin cups or the batter and streusel will run over…
This also makes a great loaf cake when baked in an 8 x 5-inch loaf pan or it may also be baked in a 9 x 9 or an 11 x 7-inch baking pan adjusting the baking time
For a healthier alternative replace all but 2 tablespoons of oil with applesauce and omit the topping
Yield 10-12 muffins
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 to 1 cup white sugar (if you have a sweet tooth use 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 medium apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
STREUSEL TOPPING:
1/2 cup white sugar (can use 1/4 cup each white and brown sugar if desired)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup cold butter, finely cubed
INSTRUCTIONS:————————————
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
In a small bowl whisk the egg with oil and 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons of milk and vanilla.
In a medium bowl stir together the flour with 3/4 cup sugar, salt, baking powder and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg; mix in the oil/milk mixture just until combined.
Fold in apples.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups filling about 2/3 full (do not fill to the top or the batter will run over!).
For the streusel; in a small bowl stir together 1/2 cup sugar with 1/3 cup flour, and 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon; add in the cold butter cubes, and using your fingers mix together until blended.
Sprinkle over unbaked muffins.

What would be the cook-time if cooked in a loaf pan?
Hi Karen..
I would give it about 45 minutes anyway if not a little more
Thanks for this great recipe Kitten! I sent these with DH yesterday for a breakfast meeting (they were all asked to bring something) and he said they were gone very quickly! Not a crumb came home with him last night either! These smell divine when baking! My only change was to double the cinnamon (I always double cinnamon)and used all brown sugar in the topping!
