Apple Streusel Muffins

It feels like it has been a while since I have posted a recipe about muffins.  Gotta fix that!  Need to try more new muffin recipes!  This week I wanted to use up some apples, and came across this recipe for Apple Streusel Muffins.  Here is the recipe:

TOPPING

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter

Combine the three topping ingredients - rub together until crumbly.  Set aside.

MUFFIN
1 1/2 cups flour
1.2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil
3/4 cup shredded apple (you can peel or leave peel, whatever is your preference.  I'm a peeler)

Preheat oven to 400F.  Prepare muffin tins (I use liners).

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and set aside.

In another bowl, mix the egg, milk and oil.  Beat well.  Stir in the apple.  Add the wet ingredients tot he dry ingredients, stir until just moistened.  Fill muffin tins 3/4 full.  Sprinkle the topping on top of the muffins.  Bake for 18-23 minutes or until muffins are done.

VERDICT:
Yum! I love muffins, as does my family.  That's why I am a bit of a "Muffin Lady" of sorts.  This mama loves her muffins! :-)
