Pocket-Size Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Makes: 12 Apple Cinnamon Muffins ~ Time: 15 minutes to prepare, 20 minutes to bake
Ingredients
2 medium apples, cored peeled, and diced (I used McIntosh)
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. each baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt
1 egg
1 ¼ cups unsweetened apple sauce
½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 ½ Tbsp. canola oil (or use vegetable oil)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. brown sugar for topping (optional)
Steps
Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside. In a bowl, toss diced apples with lemon juice (prevents apples from going brown). Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together egg, apple sauce, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Gently stir in diced apples. Divide muffin batter evenly among 12 muffin pan cups.
Bake in a 375° F (190° C) oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove muffins from pan and let cool on a wire rack. Evenly sprinkle top of muffins with brown sugar.
