Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and white sugar, mixing until thoroughly blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 cup of apple cider, and vegetable oil. Stir in the apple and mincemeat. Pour the mincemeat mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until just combined.
- Fill the lined muffin cups 3/4 full, and bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are risen and browned, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Make a glaze by stirring together the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and about 1 tablespoon of apple cider, or a little more as needed to make the glaze workable. Spread the glaze on the warm muffins.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F and grease twelve 1/2-cup muffin cups.
- Finely chop pecans. Peel apple and cut into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl whisk together egg, juice, and oil and stir in mincemeat and apple. Into a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and whisk in sugar. Add mincemeat mixture and pecans and stir batter until just combined. Divide batter among muffin cups and bake in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Turn muffins out onto a rack and cool 5 minutes.
- While muffins are cooling, make glaze:
- In a small bowl whisk together confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and 3 teaspoons juice until smooth, adding enough of remaining teaspoon if necessary to make a spreadable glaze.
- Spread glaze over tops of warm muffins. Serve muffins warm or at room temperature. Muffins may be made 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh mincemeat: Fresh mincemeat is more flavorful and has a better texture than store-bought mincemeat. If you don't have time to make your own mincemeat, you can find good-quality store-bought mincemeat at most grocery stores.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups to the top: This will help the muffins rise evenly and prevent them from having a sunken center.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
Conclusion:
Mincemeat muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for the holiday season. They are moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. If you are looking for a festive treat that everyone will love, these mincemeat muffins are the perfect choice.
