November 24, 2006, Newsletter Issue #88: Apple Crunch Muffins

Tip of the Week

1-1/2 cups flour; sifted
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 cup apples, peeled, cored and grated

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon into mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until fine crumbs form.

Combine egg and milk. Add to dry ingredients all at once, stirring just enough to moisten. Stir in apples. Spoon batter into paper-lined 2-1/2" muffin cups, filling 2/3 full.

Mix together remaining ingredients, and sprinkle evenly over the muffins. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
