Apple Streusel Muffins

I just used a basic muffin recipe, this one is from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook which I love and have made many many recipes from.

2 cups of flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons sugar

Mix together well

Add ( you want to just add these in gently you do NOT want to super mix this.. you want it lumpy not smooth )

1 slightly beaten egg

1cup of milk

1/4 cup melted butter

Topping ( I am guessing here on the measurements, I just sort of melt some butter and then mix in a bit more sugar than flour to get a crumbly texture I can sprinkle on the cupcakes )

2 Tablespoons melted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup flour

cinnamon and nutmeg to flavor

These are super easy and taste great.. you can add just about anything to them. I love them plain like this with a streusel topping and decided this time to use up a couple of apples I had laying around too soft to eat. I peeled and chopped them up and I was going to add them to the batter like I have done before ( blue berries are awesome in these too ) but decided to go for the surprise factor. I scooped some batter into the muffin tin and then added the apples, sprinkled with a little of the streusel, layered with more batter then covered with the streusel and baked.

( about 350 for about 20 minutes )
