MUFFINS:
- 1 1/4 cups apple sauce (unsweetened or sweetened are both fine!)
- 1 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (I use veggie)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
STREUSEL:
- 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
TO MAKE THE MUFFINS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple sauce, white sugar, neutral oil, eggs and vanilla.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and kosher salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix just until combined, being sure not to over mix because this will cause tough muffins.
TO MAKE THE STREUSEL TOPPING:
- Mix together the flour, white sugar, cinnamon and pinch of salt together. Add the butter and mix it together with your fingers. It should have teeny bits of butter throughout.
- Spray your muffin tin with cooking spray, if needed and divide the batter amongst the 12 muffin cavities. Top it with a handful of the streusel topping and then transfer to the oven to bake for 22 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
