Muffins? Yes please!

Muffins are very versatile since you have so many options of what you can mix in. My favorite muffins are blueberry muffins, the next favorite? Pumpkin Muffins! I  know it's not fall, but for me pumpkin is used all year round :o) Plus. these muffins have an added bonus, chopped apples. It gives these muffins a nice texture once its baked and since it's packed with apples these muffins are healthier.

Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffin

Muffins

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups granulated sugar

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups 100% Pure Pumpkin

2 large eggs

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 cups apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped

Streusel Topping

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease or paper-line 24 muffin cups. Combine flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Combine pumpkin, eggs and oil in medium bowl; mix well. Stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Stir in apples. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling three-fourths full.

For Streusel Topping

Combine sugar, flour and cinnamon in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over muffin batter.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool slightly.

*I doubled the streusel topping so I don't run out of the streusel for all the muffins. 
*For the mini muffins cut the baking time in half.
