Cinnamon Sugar Apple Muffins – soft muffins full of juicy apples, coated in brown sugar and cinnamon, make a perfect breakfast. It´s a right recipe at a right time – ideal for apple season. I enjoy fall and its pleasant days, colors; fruits…
TO MAKE THE MUFFINS - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin pan or line with paper liners. In a medium dish, combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
Place apples, 1 tablespoon flour and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl. Toss to coat.
In a large dish, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add an egg and beat until combined. Mix in vanilla. Beat at a low speed while slowly adding dry ingredients and milk. Fold in apples. Scoop the batter into prepared muffin pan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs on it.
TO MAKE THE TOPPING - combine cinnamon and brown sugar. Dip the muffins into the melted butter, drain, then coat into sugar and cinnamon mixture, so that they´re completely coated.
Notes
They freeze really well but freeze them without cinnamon sugar topping up to 2 months.
