Ingredients
~1/4 cup of lightly packed brown sugar~1/4 cup of white sugar
~1 1/2 cups of bite size chunks of apple, peeled and cored
~1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
~1 3/4 tsp baking powder
~1/2 tsp salt
~1 tsp nutmeg
~1/3 cup of cold butter, cut into small pieces
~1 egg
~1/4 cup of milk
Coating(For those of you who would like to coat :)
~1/4 cup of butter, melted
~1/3 cup of sugar
~1 tsp of cinnamon powder (or ground cinnamon)
DirectionsPreheat the oven to 350F. Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugars, salt and the nutmeg in a bowl. Add the cold chopped butter. I sliced mine in little checker-board style. It was easy for rubbing together with the flour. I would mix the butter and the flour mixture with my hands (and I did), it's just so much easier to make the flour mixture into coarse crumbs this way.
Next, chop up your apples and have them ready for when you need them. Remember to peel them.Now, Mix the egg and milk together. Beat the egg and the milk. I poured a little bit of organic apple cider in this mixture, just to add to the apple. Fold in the chopped up apples, and pour the apple/egg mixture into the flour mixture. Stir with a spatula and don't over stir. In an oiled/buttered mini cupcake pan, spoon some batter into the cupcake pan. Don't over fill them.(Using my new pan I got for Christmas:) so excited. It's a very nice pan!)Bake them for 15 minutes...And when removed from the oven, let them cool and enjoy! Hope you enjoy! YUM!!!Like I said above, they went by super fast, so even without the coating, they were terrific! http://ourchocolateshavings.blogspot.com/
