Instructions

Muffin Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place liners in muffin tin or grease muffin tin well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the first five dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, baking powder).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients (eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract).
  • Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, stirring just until combined (the batter will be stiff).
  • Fold in the peeled/chopped apples.
  • Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 3/4’s of the way full.

Streusel Directions

  • Mix together brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in the butter until it gets crumbly. Sprinkle the streusal topping over the muffin batter.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Cool about 5 minutes in muffin tin then the muffins to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

Glaze Directions

  • Mix all glaze ingredients together. Drizzle over each muffin.
