  6. Top with streusel topping.
  7. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugars, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and melted butter until a crumbly mixture has formed.
  8. Top each muffin with approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of streusel, gently pressing into the tops to adhere.
  9. Bake for 5 minutes, then without opening the oven, reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 16-17 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes.
  11. Whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and milk in a bowl until smooth.
  12. Pour the icing into a piping bag or plastic bag and cut a tiny hole at the end of the bag. Drizzle over each muffin.
