The ingredients are:
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use unbleached)

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 5 ounces evaporated milk
  • Granulated sugar (to sprinkle on top)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350F (180C or gas mark 4). Grease or line with baking papers 24 muffin cups. (These are old-fashioned, dense muffins. For slightly higher rising muffins prepare only 18 muffin cups).

  • Step 2: In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.

  • Step 3: In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.

  • Step 4: Add the egg to the sugar mixture; beat well.

  • Step 5: Beat in the apple butter and vanilla.

  • Step 6: Combine lemon juice and milk in a cup; stir.

  • Step 7: Beating at low speed, alternately add the flour and the milk mixtures to the butter mixture until just combined. (The less you mix the more tender the crumb).

  • Step 8: Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full. Sprinkle each muffin lightly with granulated sugar.

  • Step 9: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire wrack. Enjoy!
