recipe: apple muffins


photo from The Girl Who Ate Everything
taken from: The Girl Who Ate Everything

changes: added 1/2 tsp nutmeg, otherwise made as originally written.


ingredients list: 
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup oil
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 3 cups cored & diced apples (about 3 apples)
- brown sugar for topping (about 1/4 cup)

to make
preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line muffin pan with paper liners.

cream the sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla in a medium bowl. sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a separate bowl. add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture until combined. (the batter will be extremely thick - this is OK) add the diced apples.

fill paper liners almost to the top, about 3/4 of the way full. sprinkle with brown sugar, and bake at 350 F degrees for about 20-24 minutes. will make 18 muffins, +/-. 

results: perfect tasting muffin. i just wish i didn't know how unhealthy they are, because i felt guilty the entire time i was eating it. i'd make again but see if i can health the up next time (apples sauce for the oil, maybe decrease sugar?)

recipe: apple galette with salted maple caramel drizzle (T-Day 2 of 3)

original recipe from: Live Eat Learn

changes: none to the original recipe, other than sprinkling some sliced almonds over top before baking

result: SO good. the crust tasted good on its own -- the sprinkle of sugar over top was perfect. this was pretty easy to put together (even more so than a pie) and looked so beautiful. would definitely make again.
