Another way to use those apples.Apple Crunch Muffins
1 1/2 c sifted flour
1/2 c sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 c shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 c milk
1 c diced apples
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until fine crumbs form. Combine milk and egg. Add to dry ingredients along with apples. Stir just to moisten. Spoon batter into muffin cups filling 2/3 full. Sprinkle with 1/4 c brown (packed), 1/4 c chopped walnuts, 1/2 t cinnamon, (mix these 3 ingredients before sprinkling on muffins). Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm; Serves 12.
These are pretty similar to baked apple donuts. I prefer baked apple donuts because the nutmeg, the grated apple, and the cinnamon sugar tops are superior to these guys. But these were still good. I used whole wheat flour, and they weren't quite as tender as they could have been with white. Oh yeah, I didn't have walnuts to put on the top, so I didn't. I guess I missed out on the crunch, but I still think the butter/cinnamon sugar topping would be better.
These do look good, but I'd rather make baked Apple donuts every time.
ReplyDeleteI will always make baked apple donuts. In fact, maybe we'll have those for breakfast tomorrow. Then again, Ben will be upset that he won't get any. Maybe we'll have them on Saturday.
