Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 c zucchini, grated
1 c apple, grated (i used granny smith apple)
2/3 c butter, melted
5/6 c sugar (1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup)
1/2 c brown sugar (i used dark)
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 c raisins (or dried cranberries)
1 c walnuts, chopped

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. These are "regular" size muffins (not large or mini) and cooking time is based on this size muffin. Line muffin pans with paper liners. Or you cans spray pans with baking spray. Not sure it's necessary but I sprayed the paper liners. NOTE: this batch made 16 muffins
2. Grate zucchini and apples; set aside. Melt butter; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs and vanilla; stir in zucchini, apples and melted butter.
4. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
5. Stir dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Add raisins and walnuts.
6. Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling to the rim.
7. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Test at 20 minutes with wooden toothpick or cake tester.
8. Remove from oven and cool. However, they are pretty yummy still warm. Enjoy!

Tips:

Choose the right apples: Applesauce is the key ingredient in these muffins, so it's important to choose a variety that bakes well and has a good flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the muffins cool before frosting: If you frost the muffins while they're still warm, the frosting will melt and run off. Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them.
Store the muffins properly: Apple muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Apple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of apple muffins that will disappear quickly.

These muffins are also a great way to use up leftover apples. If you have a few apples that are starting to get soft, simply peel and core them and add them to the batter.

So next time you're looking for a quick and easy treat, give these apple muffins a try. You won't be disappointed.
