Time 50m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup apple cider
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 (28 ounce) jar prepared mincemeat
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon apple cider, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and white sugar, mixing until thoroughly blended.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 cup of apple cider, and vegetable oil. Stir in the apple and mincemeat. Pour the mincemeat mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until just combined.
  • Fill the lined muffin cups 3/4 full, and bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are risen and browned, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Make a glaze by stirring together the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and about 1 tablespoon of apple cider, or a little more as needed to make the glaze workable. Spread the glaze on the warm muffins.

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 fresh mincemeat: Fresh mincemeat has a brighter flavor and a better texture than store-bought mincemeat. If you can, make your own mincemeat or find a local bakery that sells fresh mincemeat.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help the muffins rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help the muffins set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Mincemeat muffins are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect mincemeat muffins every time. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and Christmassy, give these mincemeat muffins a try!
