I found this recipe in the Company's Coming Muffins & More book. I made a few substitutions to lower the fat & they still came out moist & delicious. The apple flavour comes through really strong! Ingredients:
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 tablespoon margarine |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 egg (or 50g egg substitute) |
2/3 cup skim milk |
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce |
3/4 cup apple, shredded |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Make streusel topping by mixing brown sugar, first amount of flour (2 TBS), margarine and cinnamon until crumbly.
3. In another bowl, mix together white sugar, baking powder, salt and second amount of flour (1 1/2 cups).
4. Make a well in centre of dry ingredients.
5. Add beaten egg, milk, applesauce and apples all at once.
6. Stir just until moistened.
7. Fill 12 muffin cups 3/4 full and sprinkle with streusel.
8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
