Apple Pie Muffins make for a summery sweet breakfast that is reminiscent of grandma's apple pie... without having to whip up an apple pie in the process. Chopped apples are tossed in lemon juice and flour. Applesauce, brown sugar and granulated sugar are whisked together, then the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon - are mixed into the wet ingredients. The apples are added to the batter, then the muffins are topped with an oat streusel and baked to create fluffy, apple-filled muffins.

Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place muffin liners in a muffin baking dish, and spray with cooking spray. Set aside. 2 Dice apples in quarter inch sections. The thinner, the better. Mix with one tablespoon of flour and 3 teaspoons of lemon juice so they do not brown. 3 Mix the applesauce and sugars together until combined. 4 Mix the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon - in a separate bowl. 5 In the bowl with the applesauce and sugar, stir in the rest of the wet ingredients and whip together until combined. 6 In a small separate bowl, mix the oats, teaspoons of granulated sugar and brown sugar and the half teaspoon of cinnamon together. This will become the topping for the muffins. 7 Mix the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients, stirring until just barely mixed. 8 Pour the chopped apples into the batter and stir until the apples and just coated with the batter. 9 Spoon batter into muffin tins and top with the oat-sugar-cinnamon mixture. 10 Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are browned and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 11 Let cool for 5 minutes and then enjoy!View original recipe
