Apple Spice Muffins with Baked Beans

Apple Spice Muffins remind me of a taste of fall and are the perfect way to start the day.  Add a streusel topping, vanilla glaze and baked beans you’ve got yourself one heck of a delicious muffin!!

From Tidy Mom
If you want to kick the muffins up a notch, add a streusel topping before baking, then drizzle with glaze after they cool.   Enjoy watching their jaws hit the floor when you tell them there are baked beans in the Apple Spice Muffins they can’t stop eating.

• Using a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Mix together with a fork until you have medium size crumbles.
• Divide batter between 24 muffin cups and sprinkle with the streusel topping.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Cool on wire rack.
