Cinnamon Apple Muffins

Seth found the muffin cup liners the other day and wanted to make cupcakes, so we made "muffin cupcakes" instead and Seth loved them - I added my own crumb topping since I like topping =)

1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, melted (it says you can substitute with canola oil, so I wonder if you could use applesauce as well to make them healthier and applier?)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup finely chopped apples

Heat oven to 375 F.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add all remaining ingredients. Stir just until flour is moistened. Spoon into muffin liners.

Bake 18-23 minutes.

Banana Crumb Muffins

This is a typical banana muffin but instead of putting in the chocolate chips like I normally do, it has a crumb topping like the cinnamon cake does.

1 1/2 Cups Flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 banana's mashed
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 Egg lightly beaten
1/3 Cup butter, melted

1/3 Cup packed Brown sugar
2 Tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon butter

Directions: Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease 10 muffin cups or line with muffin papers.

In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt. In another bowl, beat together banana's, sugar, egg, and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 T flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 T butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.

Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean. (My first batch I baked for 18 minutes and they were a little dry so the other I baked for only 15 and they are soft and yummy. So just watch them in your oven.)
