Apple Muffins

Autumn is prime time for apples. This apple muffin recipe makes delicious muffins that have a nice cinnamon topping that would be great any time, but especially when apples are in prime season. These muffins are especially good warmed up. 

Any type of apple can be used for this recipe. I used fuji apples, which are my household's favorite apple. Mom's recipe calls for filling 18 muffin cups, but I filled 12 muffin cups. This recipe could also be done as a 9x9 cake. These muffins make a delicious dessert or anytime snack.

Apple Muffins 

• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 cup coarsely chopped, peeled apple
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• Topping: 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon

Sift together dry ingredients; add apples. Combine liquid ingredients and add, mixing just enough to moisten. Turn into buttered muffin cups. Mix topping ingredients and sprinkle on top of muffins. Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
