Apple Buttermilk Muffins


The leaves are changing here, and although the weather has been beautifully warm, it feels like it's starting to be fall. And that means apple time! Honeycrisp apples were bred right here in Minnesota, and I love eating them and baking with them. They are (as you might imagine) sweet and crisp, and in these muffins they are a star, as usual. A little cinnamon and sugar on top makes these muffins extra special. Hooray, autumn.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, vanilla and oil. Mix the liquids into the dry ingredients


and stir just until combined. Fold in the apples.


Spoon batter into 12 greased or paper lined muffin cups. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the muffin batter.



Bake the muffins for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Aren't these lovely?


Remove muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
