Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 1 cups Pumpkin puree
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar (for streusel)
• 0.3 cups All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold the diced apple into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

To prepare the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and cold butter cubes in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the muffin batter in each cup.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
