The delicious crumb topping makes these muffins taste
like miniature coffee cakes. Good at tea time and also
for brunch. Cool at least 1 hour before serving.

Topping

1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3
tablespoons granulated sugar 2 tablespoons butter, at
room temperature 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Batter

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 large
eggs 1 cup sour cream 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter,
melted 1 cup diced unpeeled apple, preferably a tart
apple such as Granny Smith or Greenings

Heat oven to 375 F. Grease muffin cups or use foil
baking cups.

Put streusel topping ingredients into a medium-size
bowl. Mix with a fork, then crumble with fingers until
mixture looks like chopped walnuts.

To make the muffin batter, thoroughly mix fllour,
sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, baking soda,
and salt in a large bowl.

Break eggs into another bowl. Add sour cream and
melted butter, and whisk until well blended. Stir in
diced apple.

Pour egg mixture over flour mixture and fold in just
until dry ingredients are moistened.

Scoop batter into muffin cups. Top each muffin with
about 2 teaspoons of the streusel topping.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until browned. A toothpick
inserted into the center should come out clean. Remove
from pans and let cool at least 1 hour before serving.
