APPLE RAISIN MUFFINS



Apple Raisin Muffins image

This is another recipe I got from my girl Paula Deen. My son LOVES these muffins and they freeze great so I can always have them available to pull out for a mid afternoon snack for him. I am completely anti-raisin, but he loves them so that's all that matters. Next time I will make half a batch for me and leave out the raisins, b/c they smell heavenly.

Yield Makes 16 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup (about 6 ounces) dried apples, chopped coarse
1/2 cup raisins
2/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted lightly and cooled

Steps:

  • Into a bowl sift the flour, the cinnamon, the baking soda, and a pinch of salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together the egg and the brown sugar until the mixture is thick and pale, add the sour cream and the vanilla, and beat the mixture until it is combined well. Beat in the flour mixture, a little at a time, and beat the batter until it just combined. Stir in the apples, the raisins, and the walnuts and divide the batter among 16 paper-lined 1/2 cup muffin tins. Bake the muffins in the middle of a 350°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean, turn them onto a rack, and let them cool.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh apples, raisins, and nuts will give your muffins the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Muffin Tins Properly: Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. This will give the muffins room to rise and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the Muffins at the Right Temperature: The ideal baking temperature for muffins is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from getting too brown.
  • Let the Muffins Cool Completely: Before you enjoy your muffins, let them cool completely in the muffin tins. This will help them set and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These apple raisin and nut muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their moist texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy topping, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy baking project, give this recipe a try!
