APPLE CRANBERRY MUFFINS



Apple Cranberry Muffins image

Delicious and easy to make muffins. Great with coffee.

Provided by Anita Hoffman

Categories     Muffins

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1-3/4 c plus 2 tbsp. flour
1/2 c sugar
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
3/4 c milk
3/4 c sweetened applesauce
1/4 c butter, melted
1 c fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, combine 1-3/4 cups of the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, combine egg, milk, applesauce and butter; mix well.
  • 2. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir until just moistened. Batter will be lumpy; do not overmix.
  • 3. In small bowl, toss cranberries with remaining 2 tbsp. sugar; fold into batter.
  • 4. Spoon batter evenly into 12 greased 2-3/4 inch muffin cups.
  • 5. In measuring cup, combine remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle over tops of muffins.
  • 6. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Muffin Batter Consistency: Ensure the muffin batter is not too thick or too thin. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but not so thick that it is difficult to stir.
  • Measuring Ingredients: Use accurate measuring tools to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients. This will help ensure consistent results.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh cranberries and apples for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Muffin Pan Preparation: Grease or line the muffin pan with paper liners before filling it with batter. This will prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.
  • Baking Temperature: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the muffins. Incorrect temperature can affect the texture and doneness of the muffins.
  • Baking Time: Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
  • Cooling: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking.
