  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat two 12-cup muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray or fill with muffin liners.
  • 2
    Put 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
    Mix 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
    In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, vanilla, oil, and milk.
  • 5
    Make 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
    Divide the batter evenly among the 24 muffin cups. Top each muffin with a tablespoon of the streusel mixture. Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, starting first with the shortest time and testing until done.
  • 7
    Remove 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.

More About This Recipe
  • I love the warm, comforting smells of apple and cinnamon baking during the fall. Or really anytime, but especially during the fall. There is just something about that cool, crisp air and the friendliness of those smells. They tell me: Sit back, relax. Read a book and snuggle up on the couch. Slow down, there's no need to hurry. When I think of comfort, I think of those smells.

    There are all kinds of great apple recipes to take advantage of during the fall. There's no need to be satisfied with apple pie alone. There are so many delicious apple recipes, you'll never be able to make them all: Apple Crisps and Crumbles, Pies and Tarts, Baked Apples, Caramel Apples, Galettes and Crostatas...and that's just the desserts! Don't forget the savory dishes. I love apples in stuffing for Thanksgiving, paired with pork chops, or even in a salad.

    This Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffin recipe is perfect for times like these -- comforting and delicious.

    I could go on and on, but I'm getting hungry now! What's your favorite apple recipe?
