Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins
Mouthful’s of cinnamon, brown sugar and crispy apples. It’s basically Fall in your mouth. Your house will smell amazing and your stomach will be happy too.
Following my basic muffin recipe, similar to my Lemon Blueberry Muffins and my Classic Gluten Free Coffee Cake Muffins, I changed it up slightly by adding applesauce, cinnamon and nutmeg…and of course extra cinnamon in the streusel topping.
Honey Cinnamon Butter
I mean, why not?!?! Right!
Simply mix together 4 tablespoons softened or room temperature butter with 1 heaping tablespoon honey and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. When combine, slather on your muffin and enjoy.
It’s really the icing on the cake.
Toppings are always a good choice.
Streusel is streusel. It’s really good, and I usually don’t skip or skimp on it but sometime you just need a little something else.
Well, along with the streusel, I place and apple slice, cut into 3 little wedge pieces – baked them with the oven so they were still crunchy, kept their shape but also added a little bite to each muffin.
Plus they look cute.
