Recipe #22: Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Mmm... Made these last night, and they perfect for breakfast. Warm and tasty, but not too sweet!

I made changes, as usual. I doubled the cinnamon, used butter instead of canola oil, and added a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top!

Ingredients

*2 cups all-purpose flour

*1/2 cup brown sugar

*2 teaspoons baking powder

*2 teaspoons cinnamon

*1 egg

*1/4 cup butter, melted

*3/4 cup apple juice (room temperature)

*2 spartan apples, peeled, cored and finely diced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F, and lightly grease bottoms of 12 muffin cups (or use liners).

2. Mix all dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Combine all liquid ingredients (butter, egg and apple juice) in a smaller bowl. Pour liquid mixture into dry mixture and stir until just combined. Add chopped apples.

3. Spoon mix into muffin cups. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top (optional). Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm!
