Meet the Cook: As an ex-farm girl, I have fond memories of making apple butter with my grandmother. I often bake muffins for my husband and me to eat during job breaks. I work part-time, but the best part of my week is the time I spend at home being a wife and a mother to our daughter, born just last November. -Anita Bell, Gallatin, Tennessee Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup milk |
1/4 cup canola oil |
1/2 cup thick apple butter |
topping: |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
3 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Combine egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups with a rounded tablespoon of batter. Top each with a rounded teaspoon of apple butter and remaining batter. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over muffins. 2. Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: about 1 dozen. |
