Cinnamon Apple Muffins

So for this month, the get together with my Blogger friends, we decided to share Apple Recipes. A delicious way to say hello to October and Fall.

I am a muffin lover, from Chocolate to Banana and everything in between. Nothing like a muffin with a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon or even for breakfast.

Naturally I would make muffins for my family too. They have become quite common in Italy now.

How to make Apple Muffins

• In a medium bowl mix together the yogurt, milk, egg and melted butter.
• In a large bowl whisk together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

• Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture just until combined (about 15-16 stirs).
• Fold in the chopped apples.

• Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin.
• Top with sliced apples (if desired) and sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar.

• Bake for about 20-30 minutes.
• Let cool before serving.

How to make Cake / Pastry Flour

Homemade cake flour is very easy to make, for every one cup of all purpose flour remove 2 tablespoons of flour then replace it with corn starch. Sift or whisk together to combine well.

What are the best apples for muffins?

Braeburn, Rome, Jon Gold, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and SweeTango apples are probably your best choice for muffins. I usually reach for Gala apples.

How to store muffins

The best way to store muffins is to line a plastic bag or an airtight container with paper towels. Then place the muffins on top and cover the muffins with a paper towel.

You can store them at room temperature for up to 3 days.

How to freeze muffins

Be sure to completely cool the muffins before freezing, place them single layer in a freezer bag or container. They can be kept for up to 3 months in the freezer.

They can be thawed at room temperature.
