2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and ground nutmeg. Then, stir in the sliced almonds and sugar until well combined.

3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth.

4. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients mixture and gently stir with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough muffins.

5. Assemble the muffins: Spoon half of the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Then, add 2 level teaspoons of apricot jam into the center of each muffin cup. Top with the remaining batter, covering the apricot jam completely.

6. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful treat!

Storage Tips

• Freezing: These muffins are suitable for freezing. Once cooled completely, store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
• Microwaving: While these muffins can be reheated in the microwave, it’s best to do so in short intervals to prevent them from becoming dry.
