Apple Streusel Cupcakes (They're Muffins)

So a few weeks ago while browsing barnes and noble I found this awesome cookbook in the clearance section. It has a lot of recipes that look good, but more importantly each recipe has pictures and nutritional information, the paper is super nice-smelling (IMPORTANT), and it was only $7. 

 I decided that first I would make these apple streusel muffins (not cupcakes). I don't know why the book refers to these as cupcakes, but they're wrong. According to the recipe, these cupcakes make a good dessert served with whipped cream. No. They are breakfast muffins, end of discussion. And at 160 calories per muffin, they aren't that bad for sugary goodness.

 Ingredients for the muffins:

1 cup applesauce

1/2 stick salted butter

1 egg

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

2 teaspoons baking powder

 first combine butter and sugar

 Add the egg

 The flour

 The other dry ingredients

 And the applesauce

 Ingredients for the topping:

1/3 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2 1/2 tablespoons nutmeg

 Combine the dry ingredients

 Cut in the butter until you get nice crumbles

 Like this

 Distribute the batter into muffin tins

And coat each muffin in topping

Sorry I don't have a finished product picture... but I forgot to take one while eating the delicious muffins. They were good... but I think they would be much better with the addition of apple chunks. Also, the recipe is wrong. It makes 12 muffins, not 14... unless you're making really small muffins. Also I would suggest that you make a little extra topping... if you like topping, which of course you do because it's delicious cinnamon-sugar goodness.
