Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing the bottoms or lining with paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth. (2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Fold in the diced apples. (5 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, oats, pecans, and flour. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly and well combined. (5 minutes)

06

Step
7 mins

Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a generous amount of streusel topping over each muffin. (7 minutes)

07

Step
20 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. (20 minutes)

08

Step
5 mins

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for the best flavor. (5 minutes)

For an even more intense apple flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the wet ingredients.
Feel free to substitute other nuts for the pecans in the streusel topping, such as walnuts or almonds.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute apple juice, but the cider adds a depth of flavor that is worth seeking out.
For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top of the streusel before baking.
