Applesauce Muffins!


Wow! I had planned to make apple muffins for the class as a part of our apple unit when I found this recipe in Wednesday's Food Section of The Huntsville Times. I used the recipe to make muffins-particularly since this is "Mm" week. My family "taste-tested" the muffins (because that's just the kind of self-sacrificing people we are J) and wow, they are goooooooooooood! This recipe is amazing so I am sharing it with you all here.
This is the recipe that Martha Scott uses at Scott's Orchard.
1 ½ cups salad oil
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon each: ground cloves, nutmeg, allspice
3 cups chopped apples
I also added 1 ½ cups of applesauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients; fold in apples. Bake in greased and floured muffin pan for 8 minutes. Take out of oven and add streusel topping (1 tablespoon flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and cinnamon) to each muffin. Bake for 4 additional minutes.
Yummy!
Also, don't forget to check out a real-live apple orchard!
