How to Make Apple Walnut Streusel Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
2. Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup plain yogurt, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
5. Gently fold in 2 cups diced apples into the wet ingredients.
6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
8. Sprinkle each muffin with about 2 teaspoons of the streusel topping.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
