Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk (*see tips for making your own buttermilk)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 cups apples (peeled, cored and chopped (2-3 apples))
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup pecans (toasted)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spray a regular size 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick baking spray.
  • Cream the butter and sugars until they are light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and continue mixing to combine.
  • Add the buttermilk and mix well.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to a medium size bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and just mix until everything is combined. Do not overmix.
  • Add the apples, cranberries, and pecans and fold in with a spoon.
  • Use an ice-cream scoop to add the muffin batter to the muffin pan. The mixture will be thick.
  • Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. (Because oven temperatures vary, start checking the muffins to see if they are done at 20 minutes.)
  • Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-7 minutes. Turn the muffins out on a wire baking rack to finish cooling.
