One big apple muffin with a pecan streusel top, baked in a ramekin. A sweet breakfast or treat with no extra muffins around.

Ingredients

Muffin

  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 Tbsp milk
  • ¼ tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup diced apple
  • 2 Tbsp chopped pecans

Streusel

  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ Tbsp pecans
  • 1 Tbsp softened butter

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F and butter a 10-oz ramekin.
  • In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar for the muffin.
  • In a second bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla. Stir this into the dry mixture until just combined, then fold in the apple and pecans.
  • Spoon the batter into the ramekin.
  • Mix the streusel flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and softened butter with your fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle it over the batter and press down lightly.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean. Let it rest for 5 minutes before eating.
