Apple Streusel Muffins

These muffins remind us of coffee cake, and my husband and kids love them as a quick breakfast or snack on the run. The drizzle of glaze makes them pretty enough for company.

READER REVIEW

“A great recipe for fall! I used gala apples, which are my favorite, and left them in pretty big chunks so you could be sure to get the apple in almost every bite!”
