Instructions
 

For the muffins

  • Cook the chopped apples in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, stopping at the end of each minute to stir. (You want them somewhat cooked but not mushy!)
  • Add the mashed banana to the cooked apples, mix thoroughly, and set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the butter and the sugar.
  • Beat in the egg and the vanilla flavoring.
  • Add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture and mix until combined.
  • Fold in the pecans and the cooked apple mixture.
  • Spray paper liners with cooking spray and fill them ½ to ⅔ full of the muffin batter.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the streusel mixture onto each muffin batter.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool 5 minutes before removing from the muffin pan.

For the streusel topping

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour and the cinnamon and cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in brown sugar.
