Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup pecans
1 apple
1 large egg
3/4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups bottled mincemeat
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup granulated sugar
For glaze
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 to 4 teaspoons apple juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and grease twelve 1/2-cup muffin cups.
  • Finely chop pecans. Peel apple and cut into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl whisk together egg, juice, and oil and stir in mincemeat and apple. Into a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and whisk in sugar. Add mincemeat mixture and pecans and stir batter until just combined. Divide batter among muffin cups and bake in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Turn muffins out onto a rack and cool 5 minutes.
  • While muffins are cooling, make glaze:
  • In a small bowl whisk together confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and 3 teaspoons juice until smooth, adding enough of remaining teaspoon if necessary to make a spreadable glaze.
  • Spread glaze over tops of warm muffins. Serve muffins warm or at room temperature. Muffins may be made 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a muffin tin with 12 cups to ensure perfect muffin size and even baking.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with sugar. This will create a light and fluffy batter.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fold in the mincemeat and chopped walnuts gently to avoid breaking the muffin structure.
  • If you don't have mincemeat on hand, you can make your own by following the recipe included in the article.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
