Apple Muffins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk (we used whole; you don't have to)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped apple
Preheat oven to 400.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Fold in the chopped apples.
Grease a muffin tin. Put the batter into the muffin tins.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Eat.

Thoughts: I think our oven cooks pretty cool, so we actually baked these for like, 35 minutes before the toothpick came out clean. They were pretty dense - possibly because we used whole milk instead of skim. The batter was more like a bread dough than muffin batter, but they came out really nicely. They didn't rise much either, despite the 2 tsp of baking powder. But I'd still rate them very highly.
