Apple Crumb Muffins

I can not leave my house without eating breakfast.  I do not have a lot of time in the morning, so I need something quick. Our mornings are crazy.  Scott leaves by 6:45 AM so I am left to get myself and the kids up, dressed, fed, and out the door on time.  Bree moves like a turtle. Tyler and I forget everything and are both easily distracted (thank you ADHD).  So imagine our house between 7-8am!  Yesterday I completely forgot to put Bree's lunch into her backpack.  Thank goodness I put money her in lunch account last week, so she was able to purchase lunch.  Was I in trouble though when I got home from the hospital!

This is why muffins are a perfect breakfast food for me combined with a tall glass of skim milk!  My usual breakfast muffins are bran muffins, but sometimes I get bored with this variety and need a change.  I freeze each batch of muffins that I bake to preserve freshness.  I pop a muffin into the microwave for about 1 minute and it's ready to go.  I can easily put the defrosted muffin into my lunch bag and put the milk into a travel cup and away I go.

Since this month's food of the month is apples and I have an over abundance of apples in my house I decided to try apple muffins.  When I think of apples in baking I also think of crumbs.  A streusel topping has to go with apples!

The kitchen smelled so good while these muffins baked.  The kids noticed the smell and they don't usually take notice to what I am cooking.  Nutmeg and cinnamon are great spices to use with apples.  The smell of the spices baking filled the kitchen with smells of Fall.
