It's October!

And it definitely feels like Fall around here.

 

To celebrate, I made Apple Pie - Crumb Cake Muffins for breakfast.

Here's my recipe (adapted from Vegan With a Vengeance)-

 

 

 

For muffins:

1 1/2 cups flour

1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground allspice

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 orange juice

1/3 applesauce

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup grated apple

1/2 cup chopped apple (1/4-inch pieces)

 

For topping:

1/4 cup all-purpose fluor

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground allspice

3 tbsp olive oil

 

Directions:

1. Prepare the topping by mixing all the dry topping ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle the oil in while mixing with your fingertips until crumbs form. Set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a twelve-muffin tin.

3. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and add the orange juice, applesauce, and vanilla. Mix, then stir-in the grated and chopped apple.

4. Fill each muffin cup two-thirds full. Sprinkle the crumb topping over each muffin. Bake for about 22 minutes.
