Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line muffin tins with paper or foil liners.
- To make streusel topping: add 1/2 Almond Paste (grated using large hole side of a box grater), sugar, softened butter, flour and cinnamon to a medium bowl. Mix with pastry blender or fingers until texture of small crumbs. Set aside.
- To make muffins: add remaining 1/2 roll Almond Paste (grated using large hole side of a box grater), softened butter and sugar to a mixing bowl. Beat until very well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each. Add applesauce and vanilla. Beat well.
- Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir flour mixture into wet ingredients until just mixed. Scoop batter (a cookie scoop with a wire release makes easy work of this step) into muffin tins. Sprinkle with streusel topping.
- Bake 22-25 minutes or until tops are golden brown and toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Cool tins on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from tins to wire rack and finish cooling.
