CINNAMON STREUSEL APPLE CIDER MUFFINS

The streusel topping is what turns this from a good apple muffin recipe to a great apple muffin. The muffin itself is moist with a very mild flavor from the apples. But that streusel... oh my. Full of cinnamon, it bakes to a nice sugary crunch and really complements the apple flavors in the muffin. Just delicious!

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup apple cider
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup apples- peeled, cored, and finely diced
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup rolled oats
⅓ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease the bottoms of 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  • Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl; mix well.
  • Combine apple cider, vegetable oil, and egg in another bowl; blend well. Add flour mixture all at once and stir just until moistened; batter will be lumpy. Stir in apples.
  • Combine brown sugar, oats, pecans, and flour in a medium bowl for topping; mix well. Mix in melted butter until all ingredients are moistened and clumpy.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Top each with a generous amount of streusel topping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for apple cider streusel muffins. If you don't have fresh apples on hand, you can use unsweetened applesauce as a substitute, but the flavor and texture will not be as good.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the muffins to firm up.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Apple cider streusel muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist and tender crumb, sweet apple flavor, and crunchy streusel topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying baked good, give these apple cider streusel muffins a try.
