Apple Pumpkin Muffin for 12 Servings

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line the muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until no clumps remain.
3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
4. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Stop as soon as no streaks of dry flour remain; the batter should look slightly lumpy.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples using a lifting motion to avoid deflating the air.
6. In a small bowl, rub the cold butter into the streusel ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups.
8. Spoon a generous pinch of streusel on top of each muffin, pressing lightly.
9. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are mahogany-colored.
