APPLE-VANILLA MINI MUFFINS WITH CIDER GLAZE



Apple-Vanilla Mini Muffins with Cider Glaze image

Provided by Cooking Channel

Time 50m

Yield 24 mini-muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Large pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/3 cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 small apple, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
2 cups apple cider
1 small cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • 1. For the apple-vanilla muffins: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and center an oven rack. Line a mini-muffin tray with your favorite liners.
  • 2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
  • 3. Combine the sugar, butter and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 4 minutes, scraping as needed. Add the egg and beat until incorporated (don't worry if the batter curdles). Adjust to medium-low speed and alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream in batches, beginning and ending with the flour. Fold in the apples using a spatula.
  • 4. Grease a small ice-cream scoop (about 1 1/4 inches) with nonstick spray and fill the liners about 3/4 of the way to the top.
  • 5. Bake, rotating halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean and the tops spring back when touched, 10 to 12 minutes. Let rest in the hot muffin pan for 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • 6. For the cider glaze: Boil the cider with the cinnamon stick over medium-high heat until the cider is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Whisk in the honey and continue to boil until the liquid is syrupy and just coats the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick and remove from the heat. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar and transfer to a small bowl. Let sit until slightly set but still warm, about 3 minutes.
  • 7. Dip the tops of the muffins in the glaze and serve.

Yield Makes 12 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

For muffins
1/4 cup walnuts
1/2 Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apple
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unpasteurized apple cider
1 large egg
For cider glaze
2 cups unpasteurized apple cider
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Make muffins:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. and grease twelve 1/8-cup mini-muffin cups (about 1 3/4 inches across top and 3/4 inch deep).
  • Lightly toast walnuts and chop fine. Core and peel apple and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a saucepan melt butter and stir in brown sugar. Remove pan from heat. Whisk cider and egg into butter mixture until smooth and add to flour mixture, stirring until combined well. Stir in walnuts and apple. Divide batter among muffin cups and bake 15 minutes, or until golden.
  • Make glaze while muffins are baking:
  • In a 2-quart saucepan boil cider 15 minutes, or until reduced to about 1/2 cup, and pour through a sieve lined with 4 layers of cheesecloth to remove sediment. Return cider to cleaned pan and add sugar. Simmer mixture, stirring, until syrupy, about 5 minutes. While muffins are still warm, with a wooden pick make several holes in top of each muffin. Brush warm glaze over muffins several times until absorbed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape better during baking and provide a nice contrast to the sweet batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These miniature apple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With their moist texture, sweet apple flavor, and creamy frosting, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
