Categories     Breakfast

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup all purpose flour, divided, plus 1 tablespoon
⅓ cup whole wheat flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ stick unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
¼ cup apple sauce
1 honeycrisp apple, shredded, plus 2, finely diced, divided
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Make the apple spice blend: in a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • Make the muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125 G) all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the spice blend.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed or whisk to beat the butter until light yellow and aerated, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated and brown sugars and continue beating until light, fluffy, and nearly doubled in volume, 2 minutes more. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add the applesauce and shredded apple and stir with a rubber spatula to incorporate.
  • Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet and gently fold to combine, being careful not to overmix. Add 1¾ cups of the diced apples to the remaining dry ingredients and toss to coat, then add to the wet ingredients and gently fold to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with paper liners and lightly grease with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the remaining ¾ cup diced apples, melted butter, remaining 1 tablespoon flour, and remaining 1½ teaspoons of apple spice blend.
  • Evenly divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups. Top each muffin with some of the apple topping and sprinkle with the demerara sugar.
  • Bake the muffins for 15 minutes, then rotate the muffin tin 180° and bake for 12-15 minutes more, until the muffins are puffed and golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples: To make the muffins easier to eat, peel and core the apples before grating them.
  • Use a food processor to grate the apples: This is the easiest way to grate the apples evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only two-thirds full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help the muffins rise quickly and evenly.
  • Cool the muffins completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the muffins to firm up.

Conclusion:

These low-fat apple spice muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are easy to make. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthy snack, these muffins are the perfect choice. Try them today and taste the difference!
