Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 1/4 cup | Sugar |
| 2 1/2 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1/2 cup | Milk |
| 1/4 cup | Chunky applesauce |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 1/2 cups | Apple (diced) |
| 1/2 cup | Pecans (chopped) |
Instructions:
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well and set aside.
-
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, chunky applesauce, and egg until well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
-
Add Apples and Pecans: Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
-
Sprinkle Topping: Before baking, sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon on top of each muffin for a sweet and aromatic crust.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
These apple muffins are best enjoyed warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. Serve them alongside a cup of hot coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
