                          Muffins:
    1 3/4           cups  all-purpose flour -- unbleached (7 3/8 oz)
       3/4           cup  sugar -- (5 1/4 oz)
       1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
       1/2      teaspoon  ground cinnamon
       1/4      teaspoon  freshly grated nutmeg
       1/2      teaspoon  salt
    1              large  egg
    1                cup  canned pumpkin -- (9 1/2 oz)
    1         tablespoon  boiled cider -- or apple juice concentrate
       1/4           cup  vegetable oil -- (1 3/4 oz)
    1 1/2           cups  peeled, cored finely chopped apples -- (6 oz)
                          Streusel:
       1/4           cup  all-purpose flour -- unbleached
    2        tablespoons  sugar -- (7/8 oz)
       1/2      teaspoon  ground cinnamon
    3        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- (1 1/2 oz), melted

The streusel bring a nice contrast with its sweet crunch. Some boiled 
cider boosts the apple flavor.

For the muffins:
Preheat the oven to 375F.  Grease the wells of a muffin tin or line 
with papers and grease the insides of the papers.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, spices 
and salt.  In anothr bowl whisk together the egg, pumpkin, boiled 
cider, and vegetable oil.  Add to the flour mixture, mixing until 
smooth.  Stir in the apples.  Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, 
filling each cup three-quarters full.

For the streusel:
In a small bowl, combine the ingredients and mix with your fingers 
until crumbly.  Sprinkle some of the streusel over each muffin.

Bake for 20 - 25 min, or until a cake tester inserted in the center 
of a muffin comes out clean.  Remove from the oven and place the pan 
on a rack to cool for 5 min before tipping the muffins out of the pan 
and returning to the rack to finish cooling.
