Ingredients
- 1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 bit sized chunks of apple (peeled & cored)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. nutmeg (I used apple pie spice)
- 1/3 cup of cold butter (cut into small pieces)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of milk
Coating:
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Preheat your oven to 350. Whish flour, baking powder, sugars and nutmeg (apple pie spice) in a bowl. Add the cold, chopped butter. Rub the pieces of butter with the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the milk & fold in the chopped apples. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir using a spatula, making sure not to overmix. Place a spoonful of batter into each mold of a buttered (sprayed) mini muffin pan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until they are just golden. Remove from the oven, unmold & lightly brush each with melted butter. Roll in cinnamon sugar blend. Shake off excess & ENJOY!
Things I learned - A tiny bit less salt. Next time I will try grating the apples - might make the batter blend a little better.
I have not substituted any ingredients yet (like stevia, whole wheat flour, etc.) I made just as the recipe dictated. They are delicious! I will likely try healthier modifications in the future. But they are baked and portion controlled, and OH SO GOOD! Perfect for fall!!!!
