---

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• For the muffins:

  1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  6 tbsp granulated sugar

  2 tbsp light brown sugar

  1 large egg, room temperature

  3 tbsp Greek yogurt

  3 tbsp milk

  1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  1 cup all-purpose flour (option for gluten free)

  2 tsp baking powder

  1 tsp ground cinnamon

  1/4 tsp salt

  1/8 tsp ginger

  1/8 tsp nutmeg

  1/8 tsp cloves

  1/2 apple, peeled and chopped

• For the streusel:

  2 tbsp butter, cold and cubed

  2 tbsp old-fashioned oats

  3 tbsp all-purpose flour (option for gluten free)

  1 tbsp light brown sugar

  1 tbsp granulated sugar

  1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  Pinch of salt

Instructions (yields 10 muffins):

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a muffin tin with liners and set aside.

• In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the streusel. Use a fork or your hands to clump the mixture together until it resembles wet sand.

• In a large mixing bowl combine the melted butter and sugars, and whisk until incorporated. Add the egg and whisk. Mix in the Greek yogurt, milk and vanilla extract.

• In a third mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, spices and salt. Add to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix. Fold in the apples using a rubber spatula.

• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling about 3/4 of the way. Sprinkle the tops of each muffin with streusel, gently pressing it into the batter so it sticks.

• Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then turn oven down to 350°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until muffins are golden brown and spring back to the touch.

• Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
