Hi Everyone,
This Sunday I was in the mood for muffins. I just love a nice soft muffin to go with my morning cup of coffee. I have a 5 pound bag of Granny Smith apples that I needed to use up. I love to eat apples, plain but this past week I chipped my crown. My dentist said no hard foods until I get the crown replaced. Figures, that happened the day after I bought my apples. I couldn’t let good apples go to waste so I am using them in recipes and the first apple recipe is my Apple Muffins with Streusel Topping. Yum!
These muffins are light, moist and have a delicious apple flavor. I shredded my apple for this recipe so I didn’t have the chunks of apple, but if you like chunks of apples instead, you can certainly chop them up. For the topping I used a simple streusel topping which is made with sugar, flour and canola oil. It taste just like the topping of a Starbucks Blueberry Muffin. You will just love the topping.
The recipe is super easy to make. It’s basic ingredients such as butter, flour and eggs. The key to a good muffin is not over mixing the batter. I tend to do that sometimes. That is why I mixed my apples in just before adding the flour mixture. I just baked theses for 20 minutes and they were done. I think I am in love with my new muffin recipe.

Well my computer is my its last legs. Time to back it up and upload everything to my semi-new computer. Don’t you just hate technical stuff? I plan on updating my blog too. I want to find away to make my photos bigger for you to view. I just get afraid I’ll lost my stuff. Sigh…
Have a great week.
Toodles,
