Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin or grease it well.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, beat eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla until well combined.

Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined (do not overmix).

Gently fold in chopped apples and Rollicking Buckaroo Pepper Jam to swirl throughout the batter.

Divide the batter evenly into muffin cups.

For the optional streusel, mix all topping ingredients until crumbly, then sprinkle over muffins.

Bake for 20–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
