And just like this summer is over! Do I mind? Well, actually yes and no. The other day, someone has asked me, what’s my preferred season? I wanted to jump out of my chair and scream out of my lungs, of course it’s summer, why would anyone ask? But then I relaxed my glutes and thought about it. Actually I like something from each season.

I love Spring, because the nature becomes so colourful; I love summer, because I can soak up that warm sun in all parts of my body; then I love Fall, because of it’s cozy pumpkin spice lattes; and I love Winter, because of its majestic calmness and clean white cover, we can relax and cuddle under. I don’t know, this is how I feel about the Fall…those yummy and warm Apple streusel muffins with good cup of coffee…how about you?

All right, so I do not mind the summer is gone; it was fun and so hot, that I gladly welcomed in my kitchen the less warm Fall. My oven is in a full swing these days, testing and checking for the newest recipes.

Today I bring to you these full of apple flavour, Apple streusel muffin recipe, filled with real apple streusel filling and topped with sweet crumble. Cinnamon won’t miss a frame in this recipe; so get your apron, start the oven and let’s do these delicious breakfast treats.

APPLE PRIMER

Cortland, Rome, Granny Smith and McIntosh are all equally good for eating and baking. Avoid baking with Red Delicious apples, as they disintegrate quickly when heated. Buy firm, well coloured apples with blemish-free skin and store in cool place (best in refrigerator).

TIPS

Have your muffin tin ready; either grease it with butter or use the paper liners, before you will start to whip up the batter. Also follow the recipe step by step, to avoid missing any ingredient.  Remove the skin of apples before you chop them.

You won’t have to chew on the skin of apple after, only to enjoy well caramelize apple inside the muffin.  Always preheat the oven! You might as well use sugar icing on top for an extra yummy look. 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar and 2 1/2 tsp of apple or orange juice will make a perfect drizzle over your apple streusel muffins.

MUFFINS, CAKE OR SKILLET APPLE CAKE

For the variations, you can use the batter to make apple streusel cake by using 9″ tube or wavy pan. Bake it for 10 minutes longer. As a skillet apple cake in cast-iron skillet can be used to bake the cake as well. Watch closely while baking, as cast iron absorbs and retain heat more efficiently; 15 minutes might be enough for your cake to be done.

Added Appeal

Fresh or dried cranberries, dark or golden raisins, fresh strawberries and even flaked coconut make delicious addition to the streusel mixture. In addition to breakfast and coffee breaks, these moist muffins makes a yummy dessert when served warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

We love them in the morning for the breakfast with simple cup of coffee or kids will have a milk. These apple streusel muffin recipe is made for those lovers of warm cup of latte and a piece of sweet treat.

You can also substitute chopped pears for apples. Or for a double treat, try the combination of the two.

How to store apple muffins

And did I tell you how easy is to freeze these yummy muffins. Being a mom you will definitely appreciate the option of freezing your breakfast of snack. Freeze the muffins in airtight container or Ziploc bag. Keep it in the freezer up to 3 months.

To defrost, simply take out as many muffins as you need from the freezer. Place it on the microwavable plate and microwave 30 seconds (full power) per 1 muffin. So if you have two muffins, double the time etc.  And voilà breakfast of delicious afternoon snack is warm and ready to be to bite in. Enjoy it!
