Apple Muffins

Takes 40 minutes | Serves 12 |

Ingredients

180 g sugar
180 g butter or margarine
180 g all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla sugar
0.5 dl milk
3 apples, diced
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar (for topping)
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for apple preparation)

Steps

Muffin Preparation

• Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Preferably use room temperature butter or margarine.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
• Sift in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla sugar, and mix until you have a smooth batter.
• Stir in the milk until fully incorporated.
• Distribute the batter into about 12 large muffin cups. Fill the cups almost to the top and press in as many apple pieces as you can.
• Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top.
• Place the muffins in the middle of the oven at 180°C (356°F) and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• To prevent the apples from browning after peeling, place the pieces in a bowl of water with a bit of lemon juice added.
