Cinnamon Apple Muffin Recipe

I haven't baked muffins in a LOOONG time, so I thought I'd try a new recipe posted on WebMD.com from Foodily.com.  I was not disappointed and you won't be either! 

I always edit the recipe to my particular taste.  For this one, I didn't add the walnuts.  I also used vanilla extract since I didn't have any Calvados.

It was still delicious!!!

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon plus a pinch of salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, quartered, then diced

1/3 cup chopped, toasted walnuts

2 large eggs

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 tablespoons Calvados (optional)

For topping:
1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Place cupcake liners inside a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. Whisk together sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add diced apples and walnuts, tossing to coat.
4. Whisk together eggs, yogurt, butter and Calvados (if using) in a small bowl. Gently fold the liquid mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Don’t over mix or muffins will be tough. Divide batter among muffin cups.
5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle a little of the mixture over the top of each muffin.
6. Bake until muffins are brown around edges and spring back when touched, 16 to 18 minutes. Remove muffin pan to a rack to cool for about 5 minutes. Then, turn out muffins onto the wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze in a plastic container for longer storage.

No More Rack

No More Rack is a really cool website and the concept is so simple!  Basically each day at 12:00pm, 8 fantastic deals go up for grabs.  The catch..the deals are only good for one day.  These deals are so hot that they usually sell out very quickly! 

So you are probably wondering how this works.  How can the prices be so low?  No More Rack is dedicated to searching for the best deals possible. Some of the merchandise comes from cancelled orders, overrun/overstock product and manufacturer closeouts. All of the products are brand new and guaranteed authentic. Purchasing products from these sources allows No More Rack to buy at deep-discounts that they then pass on to you.

You can start getting these great deals today!  And, for a limited time, when you sign up, you will get $10.00 to start shopping!  I didn't need to enter a promo code when I signed up.  I was automatically credited with my free $10.00.  If it does ask you for a promo code, P1070 will work. 

Here is what you have to do:

1. Start adding the items you want into your shopping basket. Don't hesitate because remember these deals are ONE day only!
2. When you're ready to checkout you'll be asked to create a profile if you haven't already done so. Then you go through the usual order placement details; name, address, email etc... This generates your personalized profile for you so next time you come back we'll already know who you are – one less step for future shopping visits!
3. Confirm your purchase and make payment by using a credit card - Visa or MasterCard. You'll receive your confirmation email shortly. Now you're done!

And, did I mention the flat shipping rate of $2.00 per item?  Not a bad deal at all!
