APPLE-CINNAMON MUFFINS

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp salt

3 large eggs

2/3 cup milk

6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 cup peeled, seeded, chopped apple 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 muffin cups; set aside.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Combine eggs, milk, butter and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix well. Beat in the brown sugar, then add the flour mixture. Stir in the apple but do not overmix. The batter is supposed to be lumpy. Divide the batter evenly into the 12 prepared muffin cups. Bake at 400 degrees 20-25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick or a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Yield: 1 dozen
