Apple muffins..

Sorry... its been a particularly busy week organising our big girls 3rd Birthday, which is this coming weekend... so will make a post now for the weekend just gone, but probably wont get into the kitchen until Sunday or Monday, which is a public holiday!

This week we baked Apple muffins... bit of a change though... Dad was mowing the lawns, and H was following him around with her plastic mower... too busy to help she was... so Baby O assisted me, by way of sitting in her bouncy chair chatting to me!  

Here goes...

Ingredients...

-300g (2 cups) plain flour

-1 tbs baking powder

-2 tsp ground cinnamon

-3/4 cup brown sugar

-3 small to medium Pink Lady apples grated

-125g butter, melted and cooled

-2 eggs, lightly whisked

-3/4 cup milk ( you may need a little more to get consistency right)

Method...

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.  Grease muffin trays or line with muffin cups.
2. Sift the plain flour, baking powder and cinnamon together into a large bowl.  Stir in the brown sugar and apples until well combined.
3. Whisk  eggs lightly, add butter and milk until well combined.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir with a large metal spoon until only just combined.
5. Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin pans.
6. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through when tested with a knife.
   Remove from oven and stand for 2-3 minutes before turning onto a wire rack.
   
   Verdict.  Yum!  A solid 4 out of 5, especially when eaten warm with butter!
   The big girl ate them... and more importantly, the man ate them too... he's not as much of a sweet tooth as I am!
