Here is a hearty, moist delicious muffin that hides a little whole wheat in it. A team of 2 students made this batch in a small cooking class I teach. They followed directions perfectly and were rewarded with perfect muffins!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 c butter at room temperature
1/2 c white sugar
3/4 c brown sugar, divided
1 egg
1 c buttermilk or plain (not greek) yogurt
1 c white wheat flour
1 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon
2 c peeled, cored and chopped apples (about 2 large)
1/3 c chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a12 cup muffin pan or line with papers and spray the papers with non stick.(apples like to stick to papers).
  • 2. Mix together the butter, white sugar and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. (the creaming method). Add the eggs and mix well. Gently mix in the buttermilk or yogurt.
  • 3. Whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add to the batter. Do not over mix. Add the chopped apples. Make sure they are chopped pretty small, like the size of a peanut. If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk to it, mixing a bit more. It will be pretty thick.
  • 4. Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar on top. (if you have extra batter, you can bake it in a small oven proof bowl or cup or another muffin pan.) Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only moist crumbs and the top of the muffin is springy when you touch it with your finger. Remove from the oven andc ool 5 minutes in the pan. Then put them on a cooling rack to finish cooling.
