Baking Recipes - Hot Apple Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 24

  • 250 g/8 oz plain flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 50 g/2 oz caster sugar

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 150 ml/1/4 pint milk

  • 50 g/2 oz butter, melted

  • 250 g/8 oz cooking or dessert apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped

Method:

  1. Grease twenty-four 5 cm/2 inch bun or muffin tins. Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar into a mixing bowl.

  2. In a small bowl beat the eggs with the milk and mix in the melted butter. Stir the liquid quickly into the flour mixture.

  3. Speed is essential once the liquid is added to the baking powder, so do not beat the mixture or bother about any lumps. Fold in the chopped apples.

  4. Spoon the mixture into the greased bun or muffin tins so they are one-third full.

  5. Bake in a preheated oven, 220°C (425°F), Gas Mark 7, for 15-20 minutes or until the muffins are well risen and golden brown. Turn out of the tins and serve hot.

Note: These American muffins are quite delicious split and buttered for breakfast and are very quick and easy to make. They are served hot and can be reheated on a baking sheet covered loosely with foil in a hot oven at 220°C (425°F), Gas Mark 7, for 5-6 minutes.
