Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Tart apple |
| 1 | Walnuts |
| 1/3 | Brown sugar |
| 3 | All-purpose flour |
| 4 1/2 | Butter (margarine) |
| 1 | Powdered sugar |
| 3/4 | Vanilla extract |
| 1/2 | Milk |
| 1-2 | Muffin mix |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Muffin Mix: Start by preparing the muffin mix according to the package directions. Then, gently fold in the diced tart apple to incorporate the fruity flavor throughout the batter.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Grease the muffin cups lightly and fill them three-fourths full with the prepared batter. This ensures that the muffins rise evenly and have a nice, rounded top.
-
Make Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and softened butter (or margarine) until crumbly. Sprinkle this delicious streusel mixture generously over the batter in each muffin cup.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes, or until they pass the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they’re ready!
-
Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from sticking to the pan.
-
Make Glaze: While the muffins are cooling, prepare the vanilla glaze by combining powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed. Drizzle this heavenly glaze over the warm muffins for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve these Apple Streusel Muffins warm with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat that’s sure to please everyone! Enjoy the comforting flavors of fall in every bite. 🍁🍂
