Apple Cinnamon Muffins
August 24th, 2009
Let’s make Apple Cinnamon Muffins:
Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and spices.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar and egg. Whisk in melted butter, vegetable oil and vanilla.
3. Working in two or three additions, alternately stir in flour mixture and buttermilk, ending with an addition of flour and mixing only until no streaks of flour remain visible in the batter.
4. Stir in diced apple.
5. Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin cups filling each to the top, or slightly over. In a small bowl, stir together coarse sugar and additional 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. Sprinkle generously over muffins.
6. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool muffins on a wire rack.

Notes and Tips
Buttermilk Substitute (from: About.com)
Milk (just under one cup)
1 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar
Place a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar in a liquid measuring cup.
Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.
Let stand for five minute. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for.
Beautiful muffins! The crunchy topping looks delicious.

Must be the cooler weather as I have been thinking a lot about baking the past few days. This looks comforting.

What a nice mug, I love it :)
Apple cinnamon muffins are always a major hit in my home, but I lost my recipe quite some time ago. Great recipe idea, may have to give this one a try and see if it is similar to my old recipe.

Hi. Is it okay to use white sugar instead of brown? Will the taste or texture differ?
