They are hassle-free, portable, and guaranteed to put a big smile on everyone's face in your home.
Here's the recipe.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups diced apples
• 2 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 teaspoons
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon plus ½ teaspoon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
For the garnish:
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter melted
Method:
• Set the oven to 375°F. Make sure to remove any excess flour from the muffin tins after coating them with shortening, butter, or baker's spray, or coating them generously with flour and shortening.
• In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Place aside.
• Combine 2 teaspoons of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. In another bowl, coat the diced apples with the flour and cinnamon mixture. Place aside.
• For around 3 minutes, cream together the butter and sugar until it becomes lighter in colour. Add one egg at a time, being sure to fully incorporate after each addition. Combine vanilla.
• Alternately fold in the milk and flour mixtures gently. Stir just enough to mix. Fill muffin cups 2/3 to 3/4 full with the mixture, then fold in the diced apples. About 30 minutes of baking time, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
• While the muffins are baking, make the topping by melting the butter and letting it cool somewhat. Put the butter in a separate bowl large enough to dip the muffin tops in. Granulated sugar and cinnamon should be combined in a separate basin and left aside.
• Remove the baked muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly inside the muffin pan.
