Apple Crisp Muffins

Apple crisp muffins are warm from the oven, full of tiny chunks of juicy apple and topped with a buttery brown sugar streusel. The kitchen smells amazing. The coffee’s brewing. Life is good.

These fruity muffins aren’t overly sweet, which makes the crisp topping a really welcome addition. I try to get some in every bite. This is the PERFECT recipe to make on a fall morning for yourself or for anyone else who is lucky enough to be dropping by. They are very soft, very fragrant, and very good. I ate two straight out of the oven (planning on salad for dinner.)
