Servings: 12
Calories: 246kcal
Ingredients
- 150 g light brown sugar
- 150 g unsalted butter softened
- 150 ml semi-skimmed milk
- 2 eggs beaten
- 250 g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 apples approximately 250 g once peeled and cored
- A little extra light brown sugar for topping optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/Gas Mark 6. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases.
- Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Gradually stir in the milk and beaten eggs.
- In a bowl, sift the flour and mix in the baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
- Peel and core the apples. Chop them into small cubes, or grate them, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cases, filling each one almost to the top. Sprinkle with a little extra brown sugar, if using.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas Mark 4. Bake for a further 20 minutes, until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out without wet batter.
- Leave in the tin for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or allow to cool completely.
Notes
- Use muffin-sized cases rather than smaller cupcake cases.
- Avoid overmixing once the flour has been added.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in a cool place for 2 to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
