Apple Streusel Muffins
Description
These Apple Streusel Muffins begin with a batter made by creaming butter and brown sugar until fluffy, then beating in egg, vanilla, and cinnamon-flavored applesauce. Flour and baking soda are incorporated gently to maintain tenderness. The muffins are portioned into a lined muffin tin about two-thirds full.
A streusel topping is prepared separately, combining sugar, flour, cinnamon, and softened butter cut into coarse crumbs. This topping is evenly sprinkled over the muffin batter before baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for around 22 minutes, or until a tester inserted comes out clean.
Once cooled, the muffins are drizzled with a glaze made by whisking powdered sugar and milk. The final result offers a soft, moist muffin with a lightly spiced, crunchy topping and a hint of sweetness from the glaze. These muffins work well for breakfast or a comforting snack.
