APPLE STREUSEL MUFFINS/BREAD

Category: Muffins

1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup shredded peeled tart apples

Streusel Topping:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp butter, softened
1/3 cup chopped pecans

In large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, milk and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples. In another small bowl, combine topping ingredients; set aside 3 tbsp topping.

Spoon half of the batter into 12 greased muffin cups. Sprinkle with the remaining topping. Cover with enough batter to fill muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle with reserved topping. Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 12 muffins or 1 loaf.
