Description

Apple muffins with warm cinnamon and maple undertones, topped with a maple glaze. Perfect for a chilly October morning or that early morning meeting.

Ingredients

  • 1-⅓ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Quick Oats
  • ⅔ cups White Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ cups Milk
  • ¼ cups Apple Cider
  • ⅓ cups Butter, Melted
  • ¼ cups Maple Syrup
  • 1 whole Egg, Lightly Beaten
  • 3 whole Apples, Diced
  • _____
  • GLAZE
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • ¼ cups Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Heat oven to 400F. Grease or line a muffin pan.

In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a smaller bowl, combine milk, apple cider, butter, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and egg. Stir into dry ingredients until combined, and gently stir in diced apples.

Fill muffin cups to 3/4 full with muffin batter. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

For the glaze, combine 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until well-mixed, and drizzle over warm (but not hot) muffins.

This is a good muffin, however I think it could be improved a little. I would put in less or no cinnamon, because it was a little overpowering, and I couldn’t taste the maple syrup. It seemed like there was way to much apple, and the chunks were so big. Next time I will cut the chunks very small, or even grate the apple.
I am excited to tweak this recipe, as I really like the idea of maple syrup and apple together.

Very yummy and moist. I didn’t even use the glaze and my kids gobbled them up. I found the “3 apples chopped” to be really subjective. I used 3 medium apples and it made 18 muffins…not a big deal since I have to muffin pans.
