Apple Cinnamon Muffin

This week's recipe was written all wrong. It called for self rising flour and additional baking powder, far too many apples and a whole lot of margarine. I made some corrections, including adjusting the baking time (and switching to butter), and I think they came out alright. I had some incredibly large Gala apples, so I only used one but it yielded about 2 cups of finely chopped apples. Adjust the recipe accordingly based on your apple of choice. The cinnamon sugar bakes up to a delightful crunch.

I'm gearing up for Thanksgiving baking and hope to have a bonus post in the next few days.


Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 7 tbsp butter, melted
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 3 apples, chopped
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon (for the cinnamon sugar)
• 6 tbsp granulated sugar (for the cinnamon sugar)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375, and grease a muffin pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, milk, butter and vanilla.
4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix in the apples.
5. Spoon batter into each muffin cup until it is mostly full, then add a layer of cinnamon sugar.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, let cool.
