Mulberry Muffins with Apples Recipe

Everybody needs a basic berry muffin recipe in their cookbook! And my basic berry muffin recipe works beautifully to make Mulberry Muffins with Apples and Streusel Topping!

This year I decided that I didn’t want to let all of the beautiful mulberries that my tree produces go to the birds. Literally. (And what they leave behind ends up rotting on the ground, very smelly.) I intended to make some very frugal jam and had produced one batch at the cost of a whopping $.22 per pint (compare that to the $1.44 per pint I made strawberry jam for!). Then my transformation into a sewing machine quickly brought all of my (j)ambitions to an end. I was certain that by the time we came home from Boston the birds would have scavenged all remaining berries. I was pleasantly surprised that there were still some remaining and set about harvesting fruit. My disappointment at having too few berries from that harvest disappeared after one bite of my backup plan!
