pumpkin apple muffins with cinnamon streusel

Yesterday I found a new favorite cooking blog. I'm going to try her pumpkin apple muffins this weekend.

Pumpkin Apple Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel
1 ½ c all purpose flour 1 c. wheat flour

¾ c. white sugar ¾ c. brown sugar

½ Tablespoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ teaspoon ground ginger ½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt

2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon vanilla ¼ cup canola oil

¼ cup applesauce 2 cups peeled, cored and chopped apples (I used Granny Smith apples)

Streusel topping:

2 Tablespoons all purpose flour ¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon Sprinkle of nutmeg

4 teaspoons butter, softened 2 Tablespoons oats

Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease muffin cups or use paper liners. I used regular and mini muffin tins.In a large bowl, sift together 2 ½ cups flour, 1 ½ cups sugar, spices, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, pumpkin, vanilla, oil, and applesauce. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture; stirring just enough to moisten. Do not over mix. Fold in apples. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.In a small bowl, mix together 2 T. flour, ¼ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons oats. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping evenly over muffin batter.Bake in pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes for the regular muffins and about 12-15 for the mini muffins. Check on them frequently. Use the toothpick trick!Let cool and enjoy!
