Directions
- Lightly coat sixteen 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper bake cups and coat insides of paper cups with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- For topping: In a small bowl, stir together almonds, the 1/3 cup flour, the 2 tablespoons brown sugar and the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Set aside.
- For muffins: In a large bowl, stir together the 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, the spelt flour, wheat germ, the 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine eggs, applesauce, buttermilk and the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in apple.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each three-fourths full. Sprinkle each with streusel topping.
- Bake in a 400 degrees oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown and a toothpick inserted near the centers comes out clean. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups. Serve warm.
Tip
- *To make 3/4 cup sour milk, place 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar in a glass measuring cup. Add enough milk to make 3/4 cup total liquid; stir. Let stand for 5 minutes before using.
Tip
- Cover and refrigerate any leftover muffins. To reheat, place desired amount of muffins in a 350 degrees oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through. Or, place 1 or 2 muffins at a time in a microwave oven and cook on 100% (high) for 20 to 30 seconds or until heated through.
