Apple-Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
This is a favorite specialty in the fall when the flavors of pumpkin and apples come to mind.
Ingredients
Batter:
2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups all purpose apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
Topping:
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Mix well.
In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin and oil. Add to dry ingredient and stir just until moistened. Add apples and nuts. Fill paper lined or greased muffin cups 3/4 full.
Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over muffins. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool five minutes in pans and then remove.
Suggestions
Since pumpkin usually comes in 16 ounce cans, use half the can now and freeze the rest for another batch of muffins at a later date.
