Apple Streusel Muffins

This is my absolute favorite thing to make with Granny Smith (or any other) apples that are hanging around. They're light and flavorful, with lots of apple and delicious streusel. They make a great breakfast, snack, with a thin spread of butter or dessert with ice cream and caramel sauce.
