Basic Apple Muffins Makes 12 muffins

This recipe, like most on my website, is a made-from-scratch recipe. That

means it is made from simple, easily obtained ingredients. I like simple, I like

easy, but most of all, I like ingredients that have names that are easy to

pronounce.

About the ingredients

• Baking mix-There are several on the market or make your own

with our our instructions here.

• Apples-Honey Crisp or Gala apples are good to use but any apple with firm

flesh will do.

• Cinnamon-Use a really good quality and fresh, it does make a

difference in flavor. You can also substitute apple pie spice.

Ingredients

• 1 egg

• 2/3 cup whole milk

• 2 Tbsp melted butter, cooled

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1 tsp of a good vanilla

• 2 cups baking mix (our recipe here)

• 2 tsp of a good cinnamon or apple pie spice

• 1 medium apple, chopped (½-inch dice)

Preheat oven to 400°F. You will need a 12-cup muffin pan,

only grease the bottom.

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the first 4 ingredients until well

combined. Stir in the rbaking mix and spice until moistened; fold in apple.

2. Place equal amounts of batter into each cup of the muffin pan; bake until

golden brown about16 minutes. Cool; store in sealed container.

Options

• You can add ½ cup chopped nuts, ¼-inch dice to the batter.

• Add a pinch of sparking sugar sprinkled on top of each muffin.

• Amaretto or almond extract can be used instead of vanilla.

• Raisins or chopped dates are great additions too!
