Muffin Mania!

What to make on a cold, blustery December day?

Apple Strudel Muffins!

12-18 full size muffins
(allrecipes.com)

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup softened butter

½ cup white sugar

½ cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1¼ teaspoon vanilla

1-2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

3 cups apples (half chopped, half shredded)

Strudel Topping:

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon flour

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon melted butter

Optional: Oatmeal

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease your muffin tin.

2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together.

3. In a second bowl mix butter, brown and white sugars, and eggs until smooth. Mix in vanilla and apples. Then combine with flour mixture.

4. Mix strudel topping ingredients in a different bowl.

5. Pour batter into muffin tin, top with strudel and bake for 20 minutes.

These work well as mini muffins too, just bake them for a few minutes less. If you’re feeling ambitious you can double the strudel mix and layer it into the middle of the muffin. The strudel is my favorite part so I always make a double batch and really layer it on. Mmmm gooey melty strudel. Mr. Lawyer loves these and I doubt they will last through the week.
