Spiced Up Apple Muffins
With equal amounts of cinnamon and nutmeg in these fragrant and moist muffins, you won’t be able to say they are “just a muffin.” These are definitely Holiday muffins – suitable for any holiday table or buffet.
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs (beaten with fork)
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 cup peeled and grated/shredded apple
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line muffin tin with paper muffin cups for baking.
In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix in brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs, milk and butter. Mix well.
Add egg mixture to flour mixture and mix together, do not over mix. Fold in apples and walnuts (if using).
Spoon batter into lightly greased muffin tin. Bake in preheated oven at 350F for approximately 20 minutes or until golden and baked through. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
