Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, and milk. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Stir in the chopped apples.
- In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter and sprinkle with streusel topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Storage
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
