Instructions

  1. Begin by melting 1 tablespoon of butter. Peel and chop one apple.

  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Fold in the chopped apple.

  6. Fill muffin cups (12 in total) three-quarters full with the muffin batter.

  7. Top each muffin with the streusel topping.

  8. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
