APPLE WHOLE WHEAT MUFFINS (KING ARTHUR FLOUR)

These are moist, dark, and delicious muffins from the King Arthur Flour Company. They keep well, are made of 1/2 whole wheat flour, and have brown sugar sprinkled on top for a crunchy texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can use regular milk + 1 tbsp. of lemon juice or white vinegar. The recipe says it makes 12 muffins, but I usually get about 18. It's a very adaptable recipe and also works well with applesauce and oil rather than butter. You can also throw in 1/4 cup of walnuts, if you like.

2 teaspoons cinnamon
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (or 1 large apple)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, crisp apples for the best flavor and texture. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the muffins from becoming too dense.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
