Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Cold Butter
  • 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Pecans
  • 2/3 cup Oil
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Egg
  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Aluminum Free Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 cup Shredded Apple
  • 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 12-count and a 6-count muffin tin with nonstick baking spray.
  • Use a pastry blender or fork to mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cold butter until they resemble wet sand.
  • Stir in the pecans and use the back of a spoon to clump the mixture into chunks. Set aside.
  • Mix together the oil, sugars, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl.
  • Stir together all the dry ingredients. Add them alternately with the buttermilk to the sugar mixture.
  • Gently stir in the shredded apples and pecans bits. Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the 18 muffin cavities.
  • Divide the streusel topping on the tops of the muffin batter. Press it slightly into the batter.
  • Bake for 16 minutes.
  • Remove and let cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before gently removing them. Place on a cooling rack.
  • Stir together the powdered sugar and water and drizzle over the tops of the cooled muffins. Let set. Store in a tightly sealed container.
