Sour Cream Apple Muffins

I made these sweet, moist sour cream and apple muffins for my dear father-in-law and husband and received rave reviews … I think a streusel topping makes any baked good an extra treat. A little more complicated than your usual quick bread, but well worth the effort. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dessert and not too sweet either. This savory girl does not enjoy an overload of sugar, but I do like a decent sized muffin. Moist, sublime and comforting as we await winter here in Canada. Brrr. Turn on the oven and keep warm. Much better to occupy your kitchen than your local park.
