Apple Muffins
Type: Desserts and Baked Goods
These are best served straight from the oven for breakfast, but are also good in lunch boxes or with afternoon tea
Prep Time: 10M
Cooking Time: 20M-25M
Serves: makes 12 muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 Golden Delicious apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp pumpkin-pie spice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- turbinado (raw) sugar, for sprinkling
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Combine the apple, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and the lemon juice in a bowl, and mix until the apple pieces are evenly coated. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the flours, baking powder, pumpkin-pie spice, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in the remaining brown sugar and pecans.
- Whisk together the milk, oil, and egg, then add the apple mixture. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full. Sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are rounded and light brown. Immediately unmold the muffins onto a wire rack. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
- Good with butter when they are still hot.
