Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, vegetable oil, and eggs, whisking until smooth.
Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Gently stir in the diced apple until evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
To make the streusel topping, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the muffin batter in each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
