The Yummiest Apple Cider Muffins With Streusel Topping (Video)

Filed Under: Bread Recipes, Recipes

Jump to Recipe

Apple cider muffins with streusel topping are perfect for fall! Made with apple cider and plenty of cinnamon—yum! If you like these you’ll love our apple cider donuts!

My absolute favorite scents are cinnamon, apples, pumpkin, and clove. It’s no wonder that I love baking in the fall. It’s better than burning a candle! The temps are still in the high 80’s and 90’s this week, but I walked outside this The cider flavor is slightly enhanced by making an apple cider reduction. To do this you simply simmer 1 1/2 c. of cider on the stove until it reduces and simmers down to only 1/2 of a cup! This takes about 10-15 minutes.

The streusel topping is delicious and adds a bit of crunch. It’s the same streusel that I use for our favorite blueberry muffins. Yes, you can make this without the streusel and they are yummy, but I love the buttery goodness that it adds.

Apple cider muffins with streusel topping are perfect for breakfast or lunch.

My kids prefer homemade muffins to plain ol’ pb&j so I wrap them individually for their lunches. Another recipe that is great for lunches is our healthier pumpkin muffins made with applesauce! You can easily make them ahead and freeze them. Pull a few muffins out the night before and they will be thawed and ready to go in the morning.

YES! Place the entire tin of uncooked muffins into the freezer. Freeze for about 3 hours. Remove muffin cups and place in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Write baking time and temp on the bag.

Muffins are just about the easiest weekday breakfast (if made ahead of time!). Spent a Saturday morning baking up several different kinds and you’ll have breakfast for the kiddos for a couple of weeks!

    I wanted to love these, and they smell amazing, but I think I did something wrong. The batter was super thick like cookie dough. I let them go an extra couple minutes and still not quite done. Any advice?

      Kelly! I went over the recipe, and it looks like it was missing an egg! I adjusted the recipe and it should be much better now. I’m not sure that one egg would make a huge difference if the dough was thick, but gosh, it would have helped. I’m so sorry!
