After our recent trip to the apple orchard, we had over 1 bushel of apples to use up! I got right to work canning applesauce and apple butter. Of course, we just ate  some apples along with my homemade caramel dip. I also made apple kuchen and one apple pie filling. But one of the first items I cooked was apple streusel muffins. apple streusel muffins

We had gone apple picking on a Friday, and on Saturday the girls asked if I could make something with the apples like a dessert or muffin. I did not have an apple muffin recipe, so I just started searching on the internet, and I found this recipe.

I am not always fond of cooked apple–it must be something about the texture of it, but I thought I might like this recipe as it has the sugar streusel topping. (I’m a big fan of sugar!)    I did chop my apples up rather finely in my food processor as I don’t like big chunks of apples. Beyond that, I just followed the recipe, and they turned out great! They were a hit–the whole family declared that they were yummy and a repeat recipe!

Making the muffins

    Those definitely look good enough to eat! I know when I go get food in bulk. It does create a lot of work for the following week around here. But in the end I love eating the things that took some time to put up!

      It was a lot of work for a couple of days; but you’re right–I’m so thankful later! I am also thankful for all the modern conveniences to help me in the process of making the food!
