Muffins

          This past weekend I was craving muffins!  It just so happens I love making muffins.  I decided to make coffee cake muffins with cinnamon streusel and apple cinnamon with cinnamon streusel.  I made jumbo muffins because, let's face it, there is no better  way to make  a muffin.  This is my absolute favorite muffin recipe.  It's one that I can use as a base recipe for most kinds of muffins.

Here is the recipe for the apple cinnamon muffins:

Serving Size: 6 jumbo muffins or 12 regular size muffins

Cook Time: Approximately 20 minutes

Oven Temperature: 400 degrees

Ingredients for muffins:

·         1 1/2 cup flour

·         3/4 cup sugar

·         1/2 tsp salt

·         2 tsp baking powder

·         1/3 cup vegetable oil

·         1 egg

·         1/3 cup milk

·         1 cup apples

Ingredients for Cinnamon Streusel:

·         1/2 cup sugar

·         1/3 cup flour

·         1/4 cup butter

·         1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Grease muffin tin. 

2.  Combine 1 1/2 cup flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tsp baking powder.  Mix ingredients together.

3.  Pt 1/3 cup oil into 1 cup measuring cup.  Add the egg into the measuring cup.  Then fill the cup up with milk. 

4.  Mix this in with the flour mixture.

 

5.  Cup apple in bite size chunks.  I coated the apple chunks with cinnamon just to add a little extra flavor. 

6.  I used an ice cream scoop to put the batter in the tin and then added the chunks of apple to the batter while in the tin.

Streusel Topping:

1.  Melt 1/4 cup of butter.

2.  Mix the melted butter with 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

3.  I then spooned the mixture on top of each muffin before baking.

Bake muffins at 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until done.  Enjoy!
