Yield Makes 12 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

For muffins
1/4 cup walnuts
1/2 Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apple
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unpasteurized apple cider
1 large egg
For cider glaze
2 cups unpasteurized apple cider
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Make muffins:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. and grease twelve 1/8-cup mini-muffin cups (about 1 3/4 inches across top and 3/4 inch deep).
  • Lightly toast walnuts and chop fine. Core and peel apple and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a saucepan melt butter and stir in brown sugar. Remove pan from heat. Whisk cider and egg into butter mixture until smooth and add to flour mixture, stirring until combined well. Stir in walnuts and apple. Divide batter among muffin cups and bake 15 minutes, or until golden.
  • Make glaze while muffins are baking:
  • In a 2-quart saucepan boil cider 15 minutes, or until reduced to about 1/2 cup, and pour through a sieve lined with 4 layers of cheesecloth to remove sediment. Return cider to cleaned pan and add sugar. Simmer mixture, stirring, until syrupy, about 5 minutes. While muffins are still warm, with a wooden pick make several holes in top of each muffin. Brush warm glaze over muffins several times until absorbed.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins turned out really dense. I think I might have used too much flour.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few extra apples lying around, so this recipe is perfect for me.

The muffins were good, but they didn't really wow me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The muffins were a little dry. I think I should have added more milk or applesauce to the batter.

I had some trouble getting the muffins to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
