For best results, use high-quality vanilla extract and fresh spices. To prevent the cream cheese filling from sinking, ensure it is cold before adding it to the muffins. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds make a delicious substitute in the streusel topping. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
