Apple cinnamon muffins
Imagine a donut… dusted in sugary cinnamon… but without the hole. Haha! Add the hint of sweet apple and you have our apple cinnamon muffins. A huge hit with the kids who love the sugary topping and the sweetness of the apple throughout too. At less than $3.50 a batch to make they won’t break the bank either.
Makes: 20
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups self-raising flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 50g soft butter
- 2 cups peeled and finely diced red apple
Method:
- Combine all the ingredients (except the coating) in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Spoon into silicone cupcake cases, or a muffin tray that will fit in your slow cooker.
- Sit cases directly in the slow cooker bowl if it is non-ceramic.
- If it is ceramic place them on a rack over about 1cm water.
- Cover, putting a tea towel (dish towel) under the lid, and cook on high for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
- Transfer cases or tray to a wire rack until just cool enough to handle.
- Remove muffins from the cases.
