Description

These muffins have a lovely blend of flavors. Chunky apple pieces, nutty whole wheat flour, LOTS of cinnamon (1 whole tablespoon), and crunchy sugar granules on top.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (8 Ounces) Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • ½ cups (1 Stick Or 4 Ounces) Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Demerara Sugar, Sucanat, Or Rapadura, Divided
  • 1 whole Large Egg, Lightly Beaten
  • 1 cup (8 Ounces) Buttermilk Or Yogurt
  • 2 whole Large Apples, Peeled, Cored, And Coarsely Chopped

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Grease and flour or line with paper muffin cups (14 muffin cups) and set aside.

2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and add 3/4 cup of your sweetener of choice. Beat until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well; stop once to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Mix in the buttermilk gently. (If you over-mix, the buttermilk will cause the mixture to curdle.) Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the apple chunks.

3. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, sprinkling the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar on top. Bake for 10 minutes, turn the heat down to 400°F, and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the tin, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with butter.

The apple chunks and cinnamon make this muffins quite tasty. My muffins turned out a little dry…not sure what went wrong. Any suggestions?
