PREMIER SPICE MUFFINS

CRUMB TOPPING:

1/2 cup flour 1/4 c brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 3 T butter, softened
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

MUFFINS:
1 3/4 cups flour 1 c applesauce
1 tsp baking powder 1/4 c veggie oil
1 tsp baking soda 1/3 c brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp salt 2 eggs
1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 1/2 c white chocolate pieces
1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 c raisins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 16 standard-sized muffin cups with paper liners or grease with butter or margarine. Most muffin tins have 12 cups, so you will need to prepare 1 tin plus 4 additional cups of a second muffin tin.

Procedure for crumb topping: In small bowl combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture forms fine crumbs.

As an alternative method, use the food processor fitted with the metal blade, but you will need to use cold butter or margarine; cut cold butter into 6 pieces; put dry ingredients in work bowl and add butter pieces; process until crumbs are formed using the pulsing (on-off) method. Set aside.

Procedure for muffins: In large bowl combine 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In small bowl, combine applesauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar and eggs; add to flour mixture. Add white chocolate pieces and raisins; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon into paper lined or greased muffin pans, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle each with 1 slightly rounded tbs Crumb Topping.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until tops spring back when pressed. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans. Serve warm. 16 muffins.
