Description

This pumpkin apple streusel muffin recipe features the texture of apples with the warm taste of pumpkin, while the streusel topping adds extra sweetness.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups peeled, cored and chopped apple
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons butter

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 18 muffin cups or line cups with paper liners.
2 Sift 2 ½ cups flour, 2 cups sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt together into a bowl. Combine pumpkin purée, oil, and eggs in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until batter is just moistened. Fold in apples.
3 Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top.
4 Whisk remaining ¼ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl; cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle cinnamon topping evenly over muffin batter.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into muffins comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
