Muffins

Today I baked Apple and Cinnamon Muffins with inspiration from a recipe I found on http://allrecipes.com
They were delicious especially when they were still warm.

I used a slightly smaller muffin silicone case. (Silicone cases are a fantastic invention - no more pre greasing tins). These made 12 little muffins or could make 6 large muffins.

Here are the ingredients needed for these yummy little muffins:

• 190 g all-purpose flour
• 150 g white sugar
• 3 g salt
• 7 g baking powder
• 2 g ground cinnamon
• 80 ml vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 80 ml milk
• 2 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
•  
• 100 g white sugar 
• 40 g all-purpose flour
• 70 g butter, cubed
• 3 g ground cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 200C.
In a bowl take all of your dry ingredients, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon and mix them together.
In the recipe it said to chop the apples, which is fine if you like apple texture in your muffins, otherwise you can use a grater. This will also make the batter less clumpy.
Once your apples are grated or chopped mix in the oil, eggs and milk into the bowl with the other ingredients, gradually fold in the apples.

Fill the muffin cups up to 2/3's with the batter.

Take another smaller bowl, and mix the flour, butter, sugar and cinnamon.
This should end up looking like a crumbled mixture. (I reduced the amount of butter that they advised to use on the website - because it ended up being more like a butter spread)
Take a pinch of the "crumble" and sprinkle over the batter in each muffin case.
Starbucks use this crumble on several of their muffins - and of course their famous blueberry muffins :)

I would recommend to place your muffin case onto a baking tray or baking paper, just in case your muffins decide to bubble over the top.
Cleaning up the oven wouldn't be so much fun.

Bake your muffins in the preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into a muffin, if it comes out clean your muffins are ready.
Enjoy! :)
