Apple Cinnamon Muffins

I created this recipe over the weekend. It passed the grand-daughter test with flying colors!

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour (Healthy option: use 1/2 C wheat flour)
3/4 cup sugar (Option: use 1/4 C brown sugar)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
nutmeg to taste
pinch of cloves
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup finely chopped apples (1 large)

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in medium bowl. Add all remaining ingredients. Stir just until flour is moistened. Spoon batter into muffin liners.

Bake 18-23 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before removing from baking pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

For this batch I used a pan that makes mini-bundt loaves.
