Here is an Apple Muffin Recipe that will turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary day. My good friend Audrey, has always made these special muffins from a recipe handed down to her from her Mom.
When she heard about my new website, she graciously gave me a few of her favorite apple recipes to pass along to my visitors. I couldn’t wait to try these muffins myself, so I whipped up a batch. Mmmmm!
Were they the highlight of my cereal-and-fruit breakfast...nice and warm with an aroma that made me glad I got up early to savor every mouthful. The addition of apple juice makes these muffins especially moist and tasty.
As we build our site, I'm sure we'll come up with many breakfast muffin recipes. Even combination muffins such as apple-blueberry muffins would certainly be a huge hit as one of our breakfast muffin recipes.
Ingredients
1 egg
2/3 cup apple juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 apple chopped
Method
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Prepare pan by using muffin liner for each muffin.
Beat egg, juice, oil and vanilla.
Put the flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl.
Mix the dry ingredients into the moist ingredients until flour mixture is moist. (Batter will be lumpy).
Fold in nuts and apples.
Fill muffin liners about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle each muffin with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick pushed into center of muffin comes out clean.
Our Apple-Blueberry Muffins are tops among the breakfast muffin recipes. How could they not be? You no longer have just an apple muffin recipe or a blueberry muffin recipe, but a wonderful combo of two of the most popular fruits in a taste-tempting breakfast muffin recipe.
I hope you'll add this apple-blueberry muffins recipe to your repertoire of "special breakfast treats." I know our family "comes a runnin' to make sure each grabs one before leaving the house for the day.
Ingredients
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk*
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/8 cup packed brown sugar (I used light brown sugar.)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup blueberries, well drained
3/4 cup apples, chopped finely
*Buttermilk Substitute: You don't need to keep buttermilk on hand all the time, please give this quick and easy method for "substitute buttermilk" a try instead. I use this all the time, and everything comes out just as great, without the trip to the grocery store.
Place a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.
Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.
Let stand for five minutes. Then use as much as your recipe calls for.
Method
Preheat oven to 375°F and put muffin liners in 12 muffin pan.
Beat the egg first; stir in the buttermilk, oil and apple.
Whisk all the dry ingredients until blended together.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until the flour mixture is moist. Batter should be lumpy.
Fold in the blueberries carefully.
Fill muffin liners 2/3 full.
Nut Crunch Topping
Mix together 1/3 cup chopped nuts, 2 or three tablespoons granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons butter.
Put this nut crunch topping on top of the batter already inthe muffin liners.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Just make sure you haven't hit one of the blueberries or apples because that would indicate that the muffins were still undone.
Enjoy this version of an apple muffin recipe.
I hope you have time to browse around for a bit. Since you're interested in this apple muffin recipe, maybe you'd like to try our Amish Baked Oatmeal. That recipe is sooo good, too.
