Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins Recipe

"If you are making a double recipe do not double the recipe into one bowl make two separate recipes in two bowls, since there is a large amount of baking powder make certain not fill the batter to the top of the muffin cups or the batter and streusel will run over. This also makes a great loaf cake when baked in an 8 x 5-inch loaf pan or it may also be baked in a 9 x 9 or an 11 x 7-inch baking pan adjusting the baking time For a healthier alternative replace all but 2 tablespoons of oil with applesauce and omit the topping"

Original is 10-12 servings
