Ingredients:

1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour

1⁄3 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1⁄4 teaspoon salt

1 beaten egg

3⁄4 cup apple cider or 3⁄4 cup apple juice

1⁄4 cup cooking oil

1⁄3 cup packed brown sugar (streusel)

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (streusel)

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (streusel)

3 tablespoons cold butter (streusel)

Directions:

1. For streusel. Stir brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in small bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender. Set aside.

2. For muffins. Lightly oil twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups or line with paper baking cups; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Make a well in the center. In a small mixing bowl combine egg, apple cider, and oil; add all at once to flour mixture. Stir just till moistened. (The batter should be lumpy.).

4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each prepared muffin cup. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar mixture over each. Fill with remaining batter. Sprinkle tops of muffins with remaining streusel.

5. Bake in a preheated 400° F oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove muffins from pans; cool slightly on racks.

Bon Appetit!
