Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins

to make roughly 17 muffins

Streusel topping cut together in a small bowl

â¢ 1/4 cup sugar

â¢ 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour

â¢ 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

â¢ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Dry ingredients mixed together in a large mixing bowl.

â¢ 2 medium red apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped

â¢ 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

â¢ 1 3/4 cups sugar

â¢ 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

â¢ 1 teaspoon baking soda

â¢ 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet ingredients mixed in a medium bowl

â¢ 1 1/4 cups Libby's Pure Pumpkin

â¢ 2 large eggs or 1/2 cup egg whites

â¢ 1/4 cup neutral tasting oil or applesauce

Heat oven to 350ÂºF. degrees. Coat bottom and sides of muffin cups with butter and refrigerate. Chilling the buttered pan aids in the baked good not sticking.

For the streusel topping: combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the butter with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.

To mix the muffin batter: bring together the finely chopped apple, flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.

In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin, eggs, and oil.

Make a well in the dry ingredients bowl, and pour wet ingredients into the center. Fold and stir by hand, until the dry ingredients are absorbed by the wet ingredients. Try not to over-stir the batter.

Use an ice cream scoop to fill muffin cups 3/4 full.

Sprinkle streusel over muffin batter.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 5 minutes; remove to wire cooling rack and continuing cooling. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

Interesting grilled cheese and turkey---I have not made, yet.

Ingredients

1 pkg. (11.25 ounces) Pepperidge FarmÂ® Texas Toast Garlic
6 slices fontina cheese or mozzarella cheese
6 thin slices deli smoked turkey
3 thin slices prosciutto
1 jar (12 ounces) sliced roasted red pepper , drained
Directions
Heat a panini or sandwich press according to the manufacturer's directions until hot. (Or, use a cast-iron skillet or ridged grill pan.)

Top 3 of the bread slices with half of the cheese, turkey, prosciutto, peppers and remaining cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices.

Put the sandwiches on the press, closing the lid onto the sandwiches. Cook the sandwiches for 5 minutes (if cooking in a skillet or grill pan, press with a spatula occasionally or weigh down with another cast-iron skillet/foil-covered brick), until they're lightly browned and the bread is crisp and the cheese melts.

For a spicier flavor, add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes on the cheese when assembling the sandwiches.
