Muffin Ingredients:
2 Cups Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons of vanilla
3 cups of apple cut in small pieces. About 1/4 of an inch
Strudel Ingredients
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of room temp butter or margarine
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place cupcake/muffin cups in cupcake/muffin pan. *This recipe will make 12 muffins.
2. In a medium sized bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In large bowl beat together both sugars and butter until smooth. Add one egg at a time until mixed well. Add Vanilla also.
4. Add dry ingredients just until well mixed.
*Do not over mix! It will prevent them from rising correctly.
5. Gently stir in apples just until combined.
6. In a separate small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add butter. Stir until mixture resembles crumbles.
7. Pour muffin mixture into muffin cups. Fill almost to the top.
8. Sprinkle the crumbled strudel mixture on top of muffin mix.
9. Bake for about 20 minutes or until tooth pick inserted in middle comes out clean.
*I suggest watching them closely between 17 minutes and on to ensure that you don't over bake them.
10. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes.
11. Remove and let them cool for the remainder of the time on a wire rack.
The critics this time were my husband and step father. Husband liked them a lot and step father absolutely loved them. I my self am not a big apple person... so for you anti apple people out there... maybe try making a batch with out the apples? I think they would still be delicious that way!
