Apple Muffins

If those apple you buy from the store seem to brown too quickly, don’t throw them out! They can be used in this delicious, whole wheat, cinnamon-y muffins! 

First, wash two medium-sized apples. Peel them. Slice in quarters. Remove the seeds. Cut one apple into thin slices, the other apple into small chunks. 

Mix together the dry ingredients. 

In a separate bowl, you will mix the liquid ingredients. This recipe calls for buttermilk, but since I don’t use buttermilk that often (whenever I buy it, it goes bad!) I like to buy this powdered buttermilk. It recommends mixing the powdered milk with dry ingredients, but I like to mix the powder and water together so that I can easily combine the liquid ingredients. 

In the picture above: mix the liquid ingredients together. Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Fold in the apple chunks. 

Now it’s time to fill the muffin cups. Place one scoop of the batter into the cup. Add a layer of apple slices. Place another scoop of batter and another layer of apple slices. That’s it.

Unbaked and baked muffins.

These taste best served warm. Lasts about two days, covered and not refrigerated. With this recipe, I made exactly 24 muffins.
