Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Philippines is having a summer weather, despite the calendar showing a month. afternoon are misty, but morning are almost always sunny and warm. I found a recipe to a Pinch and adapted it to fit my needs.

we made this apple cinnamon muffins in other day, to help myself up after a few months of hard work. I baked my own in cups rather than in a lined muffin tin, only dipped the top of the muffin in the lovely topping - Turned out delicious and I'm happy that I stashed it in the freezer for another day.

INGRIDIENTS:

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp cinnamon

120 ml milk

1 tbsp flour

300 g all-purpose flour

2 large apples, peeled and diced

2 eggs

110 g butter, softened

200 g sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

PROCEDURE:

50 g butter, melted

100 g sugar

2 tbsp cinnamon

Cream the butter and sugar together until get it to light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. Mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, and add this to the batter with the milk. Finally toss the apples with a tablespoon of flour, and add to the batter.

Fill muffin cups, fairly full - you want them to rise above the top of the cup as they bake.

Bake at 175° C for about 15 minutes - check with a toothpick to make sure they're not sticky inside.

Meanwhile, melt the butter for the topping and let it brown a little. Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip the warm muffins in the butter and then into the cinnamon sugar, and place on a rack to cool down.
