    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2        tablespoons  packed light brown sugar
    4          teaspoons  whole-wheat flour
       1/2      teaspoon  ground cinnamon
    1         tablespoon  butter -- cut into small pieces
    2        tablespoons  finely chopped walnuts -- (optional)
    1                cup  whole-wheat flour
    1                cup  all-purpose flour
    1 1/2      teaspoons  baking powder
       1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
       1/4      teaspoon  salt
    1         tablespoon  ground cinnamon
       1/2      teaspoon  ground nutmeg
    1              large  egg
       1/3           cup  packed light brown sugar
       1/2           cup  apple butter -- such as Smucker's
       1/3           cup  maple syrup
       1/3           cup  apple cider
       1/3           cup  low-fat plain yogurt
       1/4           cup  canola oil

Preheat oven to 400F. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.

To prepare streusel: Mix brown sugar, whole-wheat flour and cinnamon 
in a small bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or your fingers 
until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in walnuts, if using.

To prepare muffins: Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 
baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.

Whisk egg and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in 
apple butter, syrup, cider, yogurt and oil. Make a well in the dry 
ingredients; add the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula 
until just combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups 
(they'll be quite full). Sprinkle with the streusel.

Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown and spring back when 
touched lightly, 15 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. 
Loosen edges and turn muffins out onto a wire rack to cool slightly 
before serving.
