APPLE CRANBERRY MUFFINS



Apple Cranberry Muffins image

Delicious and easy to make muffins. Great with coffee.

Provided by Anita Hoffman

Categories     Muffins

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1-3/4 c plus 2 tbsp. flour
1/2 c sugar
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
3/4 c milk
3/4 c sweetened applesauce
1/4 c butter, melted
1 c fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, combine 1-3/4 cups of the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, combine egg, milk, applesauce and butter; mix well.
  • 2. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir until just moistened. Batter will be lumpy; do not overmix.
  • 3. In small bowl, toss cranberries with remaining 2 tbsp. sugar; fold into batter.
  • 4. Spoon batter evenly into 12 greased 2-3/4 inch muffin cups.
  • 5. In measuring cup, combine remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle over tops of muffins.
  • 6. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for these muffins. If using store-bought apples, choose a variety that is firm and crisp, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples: Be sure to peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to remove any unwanted skin or seeds.
  • Grate the apples: Grating the apples will help to incorporate them evenly into the muffin batter. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grater attachment.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries provide a tart and tangy flavor to these muffins. If using frozen cranberries, be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Apple cranberry muffins are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their moist texture, sweet and tart flavor, and crunchy topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit.
