As the days get colder and the leaves turn a vibrant orange, I love nothing more than watching Gilmore Girls and making some autumnal treats.
In my garden at home we have an apple tree; we always have such an abundance of apples that I wanted to create a recipe that would incorporate them into my baking. Therefore, my recipe of choice this week is spiced apple muffins: a quick and easy crowd pleaser that encapsulates all the great autumn flavours.
12 spiced apple muffins recipe:
Ingredients:
- Two medium apples
- Cinnamon
- Ginger
- 45 g of brown sugar
- 70g of caster sugar
- 115 g of margarine
- 115 g of self-raising flour
- One medium egg
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Peel your apples and cut them into small cubes and place them on the side.
- Add your margarine and sugars to a mixing bowl and cream together until light and fluffy.
- Then crack your medium egg into the bowl.
- Measure out your flour and add your cinnamon and ginger in to taste.
- Gradually add the flour into the bowl as you mix your egg in.
- Then coat your apples in a dusting of flour so they don’t sink to the bottom of your muffins and mix them in using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Assemble 12 cases on a muffin tray and spoon in equal amounts of batter into the cases.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 180.
- Check the muffins at 15 minutes and sprinkle them with brown sugar.
