Apple Muffins




As having an extra apple in the fridge, I attempt on trying this recipe. You have to cut the apple into large chunks as they just melt and disappear, and you can't have the taste of apple and it's bite. You can add vanilla extract instead of cinnamon, if you are not fun with spices. Turn out soft and delicious.





Apple Muffins


280g plain flour
3 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
50g butter, soften at room temperature
100g caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup milk
1 cup apples,peeled, chunks



1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Grease or line muffin pans with paper cups.

2. In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder and salt, blend well.

3. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar, still creamy. Add in egg, gradually, mix well after each addition. Stir till mixture is creamy and fluffy.

4. Add flour mixture (in 3 additions) alternately with milk (in 2 additions) , starting and ending with flour. Mix only until well combined. Gently fold in the chopped apples.

5.Fill muffin cups with batter till 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6.Transfer and cool in a wire rack.
