Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups apple butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • coarse sugar (for topping muffins)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a regular sized muffin pan with liners.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In a separate larger mixing bowl, combine the apple butter, brown sugar, and vegetable oil, and eggs whisk together. Using a spatula, gently mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 15 minutes. (This step is not necessary, but helps create a more domed muffin.)
  • Fill each muffin cup almost to the top with batter. Sprinkle with raw sugar or sparkling sugar (coarse sugar crystals) if desired.
  • Bake at 425ºF for 7 minutes. Then keeping the muffins in the oven, turn the oven down to 350ºF and bake for 12-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the muffin pan. Once the muffins cool, you can add a apple cider glaze (1/2 cup powdered sugar + 2 tbsp apple cider) if you'd like!
