First - Picking Blueberry Muffins

MUFFIN BATTER

MAKES 12 TO 16 MUFFINS


Ingredients:
• ¼ cup butter or margarine
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
• ¼ cup applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 tablespoons water, 3 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons baking powder, mixed together
• 2 cups all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup apple juice
• 2½ cups blueberries
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup quick-cooking oats
• ⅓ cup sugar
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• 6 tablespoons butter
• ⅓ cup powdered sugar

Preparation:
Mix the butter or margarine and sugar together. Add the applesauce, vanilla, and baking powder mixture and beat well. Add the flour with baking powder, salt, and juice; mix well. Fold in the blueberries. Set aside. Prepare topping by combining all the dry ingredients, except powdered sugar, in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into the dry mixture with a fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles crumbs. Finish making crumbly texture by pinching the mixture between fingers.

Spoon the batter into paper-lined or prepared muffin tins. Sprinkle with streusel topping. Bake at 375° for about 25 minutes, or until done. Remove muffins from pan and set on a cooling rack. Sprinkle the muffins with powdered sugar while they are still warm. Cool before serving.
