Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use unbleached)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup apple butter (homemade if available)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- Granulated sugar (to sprinkle on top)
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!
