For an even more intense apple flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the wet ingredients. Feel free to substitute other nuts for the pecans in the streusel topping, such as walnuts or almonds. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute apple juice, but the cider adds a depth of flavor that is worth seeking out. For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top of the streusel before baking.
