I love baking with my sister’s children. The best thing about it is their beaming faces when they get to taste their baked goods for the first time. As well as cookies, we are currently also baking these apple and nut muffins, because they are quick to make and taste simply heavenly. Why not bake them with us today!
Ingredients:
- 4 medium apples (about 500g), peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- Optional: powdered sugar or melted chocolate for topping
How to prepare Apple Nut Muffins:
- Wash the apples, peel them and then cut them into small pieces.
- Cream the butter with the sugar and eggs. Then mix the baking powder and the sifted flour and stir in the mixture.
- Add the cinnamon and fold in the apples and walnuts.
- Line a muffin tray with paper cases and preheat the oven to 180 °C (350°F) top/bottom heat.
- Pour the batter into the tins and bake the apple and walnut muffins for 15-20 minutes. Do the stick test.
- Decorate the muffins with powdered sugar or chocolate as desired.
Bon Appetit!
