Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

350g plain flour
25g butter
50g dark muscovado sugar , plus 1 tbsp extra for the topping
50g pecan , chopped
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cinnamon
284ml tub soured cream
1 egg , beaten
3 eating apples (about 140g/50z each) , peeled and cored
2-3 tbsp milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line a muffin tin with muffin cases. In a small bowl, use your fingertips to rub 50g of the flour together with the butter to make breadcrumbs. Stir through 1 tbsp sugar and the chopped pecans, then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt, then stir in the sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Coarsely grate two of the apples, then beat together with the soured cream, egg and 2 tbsp milk. Make a well in the dry ingredients and quickly fold through the wet ingredients, adding an extra tbsp milk if really dry. Don't over-mix or your muffins will be tough. It doesn't matter if there are lumps of flour.
  • Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases - they should be about two-thirds full - then sprinkle over the pecan topping. Thinly slice the final apple, then poke slices into the tops of the muffins. Bake for 20 mins or until risen, golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
