Apple Streusel Muffins

SUBMITTED BY: Beverly Medalen

"One day when I didn't have apples for my favorite dessert recipe, I used applesauce instead. I also put the batter in muffin cups so the men working cattle at our place could easily eat these treats in the field. --Beverly Medalen, Willow City, North Dakota"

This recipe is very easy to make using the cake mix and applesauce. I needed to double the amount of filling and topping for the amount of batter. They are more like a cake then a muffin, lighter, not as dense. I used a french vanilla cake mix, since that is all I had. Good recipe, but could have a little more flavor throughout the whole muffin.

I am always looking for new snacks for my daycare kids. I made these muffins in my mini muffin pan with a white cake mix (all I had) and topped them with a cinnamon glaze - powdered sugar, cinnamon and a little milk. The kids ate them up! - my 2nd grader said they tastes like mini cinnamon rolls. I thought the batter was a little thick so might thin it out next time and use milk instead of the water Thanks for a new snack idea!
