Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and cinnamon. Stir in the brown sugar until well combined.
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks. If you prefer smaller pieces in your muffins, give them a few pulses in a food processor.
Fold the chopped apples and pecans into the dry mixture. Ensure the fruit and nuts are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk and melted butter, and stir until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Fill each cup about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them plain or with a dollop of butter.
Tips:
- Make sure to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before you start mixing the ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined to ensure your muffins stay tender.
- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best flavor and texture. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are great choices.
- Chop the pecans and apples into small, uniform pieces so they distribute evenly in the batter.
- Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These apple and pecan muffins are a perfect blend of sweet and nutty flavors. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven, or store them for a quick and delicious snack anytime. The combination of apples and pecans is sure to become a family favorite. Happy baking!
