Hello Friends! How is your fall season going?

Are you just loving all of the fall produce? Today I am featuring the great taste of apples in a recipe. 

Today’s recipe is an easy one when you are looking for some fall flavor! These easy muffins are a nice treat for breakfast or a snack and they come together very quickly.

Streusel muffins are always a treat and these have wonderful bits of apple in them.

List of main ingredients:

Apples – of course, they are the star of this show. I like to use Granny Smith or Gala apples for this recipe, but honestly, it works with just about any variety of apples. 

Butter – Probably my favorite ingredient of all time.- LOL! But seriously, I always use real butter in my recipes, although I try to keep it to a minimum. Margarine will also work in this recipe just fine.

Variations on this recipe.

Nuts – You can easily add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to this recipe.

Then it is a process of:

1. Mixing the dry ingredients.
2. Adding the eggs.
3. Making the topping.
4. Pouring into a baking pan.
