These are easy to make, Nice apple flavor. Great with a big glass of cold milk, or a cup of hot coffee or tea. You can cut the recipe in half if you want.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup(s) butter
3/4 cup(s) sugar
2 medium eggs, beaten
5 cup(s) sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon(s) salt
8 teaspoon(s) baking powder
2 cup(s) milk
2 1/2 cup(s) peeled and diced apples
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1/2 teaspoon(s) apple extract (optional)
1 cup(s) chopped walnuts (optional)
- sugar and cinnamon for topping

Steps:

  • Cream butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, add the beaten eggs and beat until well combined. add the vanilla and apple extract to the milk
  • add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture alternating with milk. beat until well combined, fold in the chopped apples and walnuts.
  • Fill greased or cup cake paper lined muffin cups, about 2/3 full. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon ( I use about 2 teaspoons on each)
  • Bake in pre heated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
  • After Muffins have cooled completely I drizzle mine with powder sugar that I have mixed with a little cream and apple extract just thin enough to drizzle but it firms up after sitting for a few minutes
