Apple Strudel Muffins

I love fall and everything apple! We went apple picking over the weekend, so I decided to make these apple muffins with the apples that we picked! Would definitely do this again!

My modifications to this recipe:

• Used 1/2 cup white sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar, and added that first to chopped apples so it would help leach out the water from the apples (saw another reviewer did this)
• Used 2 cups of chopped apples (used 1 large Rome Beauty apple)
• Added 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon to the 

Apple Strudel Muffins (~from allrecipes.com)

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (~added 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg to flour mixture)
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar (~used 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar)
• 2 eggs

• 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups chopped apples (~used 1 large Rome Beauty apple, which was 2 cups chopped)
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan. 
2. I first mixed the 1/2 cup brown and 1/2 cup white sugar with chopped apples
3. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. In a large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and eggs until smooth. Mix in vanilla. Stir in apples, and gradually blend in the flour mixture. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan.
5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture is like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over tops of mixture in muffin pan.
6. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to sit 5 minutes before removing muffins from pan. Cool on a wire rack.
