These days markets are full of apples and who can give these red beauties a pass. So brought some home and here was thinking new recipes to try my hand at with the core ingredient being Apples. I have already tried my hands at baking apple pie with a very simple recipe. So didn’t want to repeat it. So I decided to make an Apple muffin with nuts & raisins. These are best served at tea time or at breakfast. So here’s my tried and tested recipe for the same which I have adapted as per my preference. I found the original recipe on Mr. Food.
Preparation Time: 45 mins (excluding the dough & apple rest time)
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon plus a pinch of nutmeg powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 Eggs
100 ml. Milk
1 1/2 Apple peeled and finely chopped
6 tbsps. Clarified Butter (Ghee)
For sprinkling on top
Mixed Nuts (Chopped )& Raisins
Brown sugar
Method:
In a bowl mix flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, and salt.
Now in another bowl, blend or beat together eggs and milk. Then add melted clarified butter and finely chopped apple chunks. Mix well.
Pour in the liquid apple – egg mixture in the dry flour mixture and stir gently until the entire powdery mixture is moistened. to form a stiffer mixture than the usual cake one.
Preheat the oven at 190 degree Celsius. Add the mixture in scoops to the already greased and floured 6 or 12-cup muffin mold until it fills 3/4 of the mold size.
Sprinkle on the top of each muffin a as per your choice brown sugar, nuts & raisins.
Finally bake it at 190 degree Celsius for about 15 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test.
Tip: You can pour some warm apple sauce on top while serving to your family & guests for added flavor.
