Apple Muffins

According to an old saying, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. I would say an apple muffin a day will keep your guest coming back for some more! Not sure about the doctor though, I will leave that reflection to your judgment.

This recipe will delight kids and adults and can be served as a dessert, as a snack, or even for breakfast.

It is very simple and quick to make.

The quantities are for 6 individually sized muffins (7 centimeter diameter at the top, 4 centimeter diameter at the bottom, and 4 centimeter tall).

You will need:

• 175 grams of flour
• 11 grams (1 paquet) of baking powder
• 100 grams of sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 50 grams of soft to melted butter
• 1 egg
• 100 milliliters of milk
• 1 big apple or 2 small apples

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes

Start by pre-heating your oven to 200 C (390 F).

In a bowl, add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt) and slightly mix.

Add the melted or soft butter to the dry mix ... 

... until you obtain a mix with a texture similar to breadcrumbs.

In another bowl, mix the egg and the milk.

Add the milk/egg mix to the previous batter and mix.

Peel the apples and cut them into pieces.

Add the apple pieces to the batter and mix.

Pour the batter into muffins moulds.

Bake for about 20 minutes until the muffins are golden and your knife comes back clean after poking a muffin.

You can serve cold or warm, as you prefer.

Note:

You can serve your muffin with a scoop of ice-cream or even with a delicious Apple & Maple Syrup Icing (coming soon to our menu)
