Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

When I asked my guys what they wanted for this Muffin Monday my son requested cinnamon and my husband wanted apple.  I searched the Taste of Home site and found Michelle O's Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins. 

 

I did not have sour cream on hand but I did have Apple Pie Greek yogurt so I used that instead. I also added 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. 

I peeled the apples but did not chop them because I wanted them to blend more into the muffin so I used a large hole grater. If you chop them be sure to keep them uniform in size and toss them with some of the flour from the recipe to keep them from sinking.

I was probably a little heavier handed with the butter for the topping so my streusel was a bit clunkier.  It still tastes delicious so no big deal. As always, I overfilled my tin so I got 12 muffins instead of 16.

Thanks so much to Stacy for hosting #MuffinMonday and to all the other awesome bloggers who shared recipes today, be sure to go check out what they made using the links down below!
