Ingredients
  

Streusel Topping:

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp rolled oats
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Muffins:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¾ cup plain low fat yogurt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups diced apple
  • 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven 375°. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable oil spray or line with muffin liners.
  • Make the streusel topping: whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and oats. Stir in melted butter until incorporated. Using clean fingers, mix together until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • For the muffins: mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices together in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, milk, yogurt and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Gently fold the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in diced apple and melted butter.
  • Using a large ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Crumble streusel topping over each muffin top.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean. Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes then remove from pan and place onto wire rack. Serve warm and save leftover muffins in air tight container.
