Steps:
- 1. For the apple-vanilla muffins: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and center an oven rack. Line a mini-muffin tray with your favorite liners.
- 2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
- 3. Combine the sugar, butter and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 4 minutes, scraping as needed. Add the egg and beat until incorporated (don't worry if the batter curdles). Adjust to medium-low speed and alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream in batches, beginning and ending with the flour. Fold in the apples using a spatula.
- 4. Grease a small ice-cream scoop (about 1 1/4 inches) with nonstick spray and fill the liners about 3/4 of the way to the top.
- 5. Bake, rotating halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean and the tops spring back when touched, 10 to 12 minutes. Let rest in the hot muffin pan for 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- 6. For the cider glaze: Boil the cider with the cinnamon stick over medium-high heat until the cider is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Whisk in the honey and continue to boil until the liquid is syrupy and just coats the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick and remove from the heat. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar and transfer to a small bowl. Let sit until slightly set but still warm, about 3 minutes.
- 7. Dip the tops of the muffins in the glaze and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture to your muffins.
- Peel and core your apples thinly: This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use a variety of apple types: This will give your muffins a more complex flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help prevent them from breaking.
- Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature: They are best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion:
These miniature apple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apples, warm spices, and a tender muffin batter is sure to please everyone. Try experimenting with different apple varieties to create your own unique muffin flavor combinations.
