Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat two 12-cup muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray or fill with muffin liners
2. 2Put the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter for the crumb topping recipe into the work bowl of a small food processor and pulse until mixture is crumb-like. Set aside.
3. 3Mix the flour (whole wheat and all purpose), baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium-large bowl to sift. Add the sugar and brown sugar, stir. Next, stir in the diced apple.
4. 4In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, vanilla, oil, and milk.
5. 5Make a well in the center of the bowl with the flour mixture. Pour in the liquids and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Do not over-mix.
6. 6Divide the batter evenly among the 24 muffin cups. Top each muffin with a tablespoon of the streusal mixture. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, starting first with the shortest time and testing until done.
7. 7Remove the pans from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing the muffins. Serve immediately. Store any extras on a plate that is loosely covered with plastic wrap.
