QUICK & EASY APPLE MUFFINS

This is a simple recipe derived from an old Betty Crocker's Cookbook, published 1979. It is great for mornings when the kids don't want cereal or when you want them to have a healthier snack for school. The recipe is not low in fat, therefore more suited for active children. You can substitute a different oil to alter the flavor - do look for a "healthy" choice. I altered the recipe slightly to suit our tastes and simplified one of the steps, choosing to chop the apples instead of grating them. Vanilla sugar can be substituted with 1 c. sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. You can make vanilla sugar yourself by placing a vanilla bean into a sealable jar and covering it with sugar, let it set at least 24 hours. It makes a great flavouring. Always close the jar tightly to retain the aroma and remember to refill the sugar now and then. Best served immediately. (But, then again, they are gone quickly, anyway)

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup rapeseed oil
2 apples
1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup vanilla sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C Line muffin tin with muffin cups or grease the tin with some canola oil.
  • Beat the egg in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the milk and the rapeseed oil, stirring well.
  • Peel the apples. I slice chunks around the core, but you can core them the traditional way. Chop the apples finely. Stir chopped apples into the mixture, blending thoroughly.
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened. (The batter will be very thick).
  • Pour the batter into the cups. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes.
  • After baking, remove the muffins from the tin immediately. Serve hot and fresh.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour to give the muffins a slightly nutty flavor and added fiber.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before chopping them. This will help prevent the muffins from becoming too chunky.
  • If you want a sweeter muffin, you can add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • For a crunchy topping, sprinkle the muffins with a mixture of brown sugar and chopped nuts before baking.

Conclusion:

These apple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover apples. With their moist texture, sweet flavor, and plenty of apples, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
