Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins Recipe
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Prepare muffin tin with liners or lightly grease each muffin cup.
  • In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl slightly beat eggs. Add vanilla, oil, pumpkin and milk. Stir to combine. Fold in apples and nuts.
  • Combine egg mixture and dry ingredients. Stir just until blended.
  • Spoon into muffin cups.

    TOPPING
  • Combine 2 tablespoons flour, white sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • *Cut in 1 tablespoon of butter until mixture appears slightly crumbly. Sprinkle topping on top of muffins.

  • Bake 25 minutes or or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven. Leave muffins in pan 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

    *Cut In: In preparing pastry, this refers to mixing a fat such as butter or lard with a dry ingredient such as flour until it forms particles of fat that are covered with the dry ingredient. A pastry-blending tool is most often used for this process. The ingredients must not be over blended or a paste will form which will create poor results in the finished pastry.
