Apple Streusel Muffins
These apple streusel muffins remind us of coffee cake, and my husband and kids love them as a quick breakfast or snack on the run. The drizzle of glaze makes them pretty enough for company. —Dulcy Grace, Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania

Like Mary (below, Dec 31, 2020), the batter/dough was so dry, less than half of it was anywhere near put together...and even that was crumbly. Now, due to bandwidth limitations, I have not watched the video, and the answer may be there, but looking at the recipe itself, all those dry ingredients with just 2 eggs and half a cup of melted butter does not quite hack it. I simply began adding whole cream, a couple Tablespoons at a time, until the structure was between a dough and a batter (about 3/4 total) and was really delighted at the end results. I ended up doing one recipe as written (plus the cream) and one recipe using stevia in place of the sugar (plus the cream). they were both just wonderful, though the ones using the stevia did blossom up to a nicer well-rounded top.
Read other reviews and adjusted by adding cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg also added more apples! Probably the most time consuming muffin I’ve ever made but great tasting and very moist! Will make again!
The dough was so crumbly. I tried adding a bit of milk and the batter became very sticky. I don't know what went wrong.

These are great! I served them at a morning coffee. Later my husband had one with ice cream for dessert. The batter is stiff but once you add the apples, it is easier to work with. As far as being dry, we think that the only way this would be dry would be with not using enough apples. We cut the apples in small cubes so that they were evenly dispersed in the mix and used 2 cups of apples.. Also, took the advice from other reviews and added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a small 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg to the batter. These were really delicious and we added to our regular recipe box.
I followed the instructions to the letter, but the muffins came out dry.

I didn’t add the streusel topping, opted instead for crystal glazing sugar. Also added a little cinnamon
These were ok. I can't believe I'm saying this but I thought they were too sweet and actually too many apples, and I love both. I made exactly as called for. Not too bad but probably won't make again. Hubby loved them though. I try to be nice when I make negative comments (which isn't often) because I hate when people call them slop, or say they throw in garbage.
Made as directed. Didn't look like there was enough batter to cover apples. But I had faith, they turned out FANTASTIC.!
