APPLE STREUSAL MUFFINS

1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c quick or old-fashioned oats, uncooked
1/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t cinnamon (I use 1 teas.)
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 c milk
1/4 c margarine or butter, melted
1 egg
1/2 t vanilla
1 med apple, finely chopped (I used a little more)

TOPPING

1/3 c quick or old-fashioned oats, uncooked
1/4 c all-purpose flour
1/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 t cinnamon
1/4 c margarine or butter

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease bottoms of 12 med muffin cups or line with paper baking cups. Combine dry ingredients. Add milk, margarine, egg, & vanilla, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened; stir in apple. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full.

Topping:
Combine dry ingredients; cut in margarine until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake 18-20 min or until golden brown. Serve warm.


I thought these were very good. (I might consider adding a little more brown sugar to the muffin ingredients to make the batter a little bit sweeter to my taste.)
