Ingredients

• Streusel Topping:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups, chopped, peeled tart apples
• 1/3 cup brown sugar

• 1 tbs cold butter
• Glaze:
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1-2 tbs milk
• 1 tsp butter, melted
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 1/8 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, butter and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (batter will be stiff). Fold in apples.

Fill greased muffin cups 3/4's full. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.

Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over muffins.
