- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup apple, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 butter, melted
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
Directions:
Grease or line muffin cups and set tin aside.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add milk, butter, and egg. Stir until flour is moistened. Fold in apples.
Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin pan. Bake 23-28 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool 5-10 minutes before removing from the pan. If desired, brush with browned butter and sprinkle a bit of cinnamon sugar on top.
Myrtle's Note: I added nutmeg, because it just belonged in there. I also really like having a bit of something on top, so I browned some butter for that slightly nutty taste and then sprinkled a bit of cinnamon sugar ... because I always have an old spice jar of that mix ready and waiting my next yearning for cinnamon toast.
