Apple Pie Muffins are a fun way to enjoy all the flavors of apple pie but in muffin form. This is a tender cinnamon muffin topped with apple pie filling and sweet streusel. A great breakfast, brunch or snack everyone will enjoy!
In a saucepan, combine apples, sugar, water and brown sugar.
Over medium heat, bring to a boil.
Add flour, boil for 2 minutes stirring constantly until thickened.
Add in butter and lemon juice and stir until butter is melted.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Set aside to cool.
Streusel Topping
In a medium mixing bowl combine brown sugar, flour, rolled oats and butter.
Mix together with a pastry blender or fork until mix resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
Muffin Batter
In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a small bowl whisk together eggs, milk, and oil.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is moistened and mixed but being careful not to over mix.
Assemble and Bake the muffins
Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Fill muffin cups ⅔ full with batter.
Add a nice fat Tablespoon of Apple Pie Filling on top of the batter.
Sprinkle a Tablespoon of Streusel Topping on top of the filling.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean.
Cool in pan for at least 5 minutes. Remove and cool completely on wire rack or counter.

Notes
I recommend using paper liners for this recipe to avoid the filling sticking to the pan, however if need be you can grease the muffin pans thoroughly.I use a large scoop from pampered chef to fill my muffin tins evenly with batter.
