Apple Pumpkin Muffins

  • 1 ½ tablespoons full-fat sour cream, room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons pure canned pumpkin
  • 1 tablespoon apple juice (or orange juice or water)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup, plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Streusel Topping – In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, butter, sugars, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until you have small pea-size pieces. Stir in diced apples and refrigerate.
  2. Apple Pumpkin Muffins – Preheat oven. Mix sour cream, pumpkin, juice, sugars, egg yolk, vanilla, and apple cubes. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Fold dry mix into wet mix. Spoon batter into muffin liners. Top with streusel. Bake at high heat, then lower heat and bake until done. Cool before serving.

Notes

  • You can customize the streusel topping with nuts or oats for added texture.
  • Feel free to substitute the apple with pear for a different flavor profile.
