Apple Muffins

Apple muffins...hot from the oven to warm the 'inner man'...and great at breakfast, lunch or supper!


This recipe came from Betty Crocker's cookbook...copyright 1969...which happens to be one of my old favorites.

Apple Muffins

1 egg

1 cup milk

1/4 cup salad oil

1 cup coarsely grated apple

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

• Beat egg...stir in milk oil and apples.
• Mix in remaining ingredients, just until flour is moistened...batter should be lumpy.
  
  
• Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full.
  
  
  
• Bake at 375 F for 20 minutes...or until golden.
• Immediately remove from pan.
• Yield...12 muffins (or double the recipe, as I did.)

*Optional Crunch Topping...Sprinkle muffins with a mixture of 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup chopped nuts and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. The topping is wonderful on fresh muffins...not quite so good later on.
