Cinnamon Apple MuffinsOur MOMS club group is having a potluck snack as part of our monthly meeting, and since the temperature has been dropping like a rock I thought I’d bake something and warm our house up. One of my favorite quick and easy treats are muffins. The freeze and thaw well, and perfect bites when mini-size. Muffins are like a cupcake but require far less decorating! I always wanted to try my Apple Coffee Cake recipe in muffin form, so check out these delicious muffins the girls and I made!

Apple Coffee Cake

Yield: ~30 mini-muffins

  • 1 – 24 count mini muffin pan (after you make the first 24, there’s enough batter to make 6-8 more)
  • 1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
  • 1/4c Unsweetened applesauce
  • 3/4 c Sugar
  • 3/4 c Milk
  • 2 1/2 tsp. Baking powder
  • 1 Egg

    • 2 tsp. Cinnamon
    • 2 tbs. Butter
    • Pinch of nutmeg

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees, and lightly spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Batter: Combine all ingredients together, except the topping in a bowl.
  3. Topping: Combine ingredients together.  (I use my mini-food processor.)
  4. Use a medium size cookie scoop portion muffin batter (fill almost to top).

  6. Bake for 10 minutes or until the top/edges becomes a light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when placed in the center.
