---

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

Ingredients:

• For the muffin batter:

  1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  6 tbsp granulated sugar

  2 tbsp light brown sugar

  1 large egg, room temperature

  3 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt

  3 tbsp whole milk

  1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  1 cup all-purpose flour

  2 tsp baking powder

  1 tsp ground cinnamon

  1/8 tsp ground ginger

  1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

  1/8 tsp ground cloves

  1/4 tsp salt

  1/2 medium apple, peeled and chopped

• For the streusel:

  2 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed

  2 tbsp rolled oats

  3 tbsp all-purpose flour

  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 2/3 full. 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 the oven down to 350°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and spring back to the touch.

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