Apple Donut Muffins


These are one of those recipes that you just don't know what to name them. They look like muffins, but the mix is more like a scone dough. They are covered in cinnamon and sugar which explains the donut part of the name. Whatever you call them they are great, especially straight from the oven. You can use any apple you like, but a sweet apple is best. Made them twice in one week and received with rave reviews.



Apple Donut Muffins
Recipe from Pinoy Cook

Ingredients
2 apples
1 1/2 cups plain flour

1 3/4 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground nutmeg
75g butter
1 egg
1/4 cup milk

Topping:
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Method:
1. Peel and roughly chop the apples.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and nutmeg. Add the butter to the flour mixture. Rub the butter against the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Beat the egg. Pour in the milk and stir lightly. Add the chopped apple to the egg-milk mixture.
4. Pour the apple mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until blended. Do not overmix.
5. Form the batter into loose balls and place in the holes of a muffin pan.
