One of the things that I made for Michael's 8th Birthday was Apple Cinnamon Muffins. I've made these before but never posted about them. Both my children love muffins and cupcakes. To be honest, I dont really know what the difference is between Muffins and Cupcakes. I know that cupcakes usually have icing on them but then a cake without icing is still a cake!
I also know that muffins are generally 'heavier' than cupcakes but really, is there a difference?
Anyway, rather than worry about semantics, I made these muffins simply because they are delicious and the Children love them. A few of The Lovely Wife's friends enjoyed these too a few weeks ago when they came to visit.
This is how I make my Apple Cinnamon Muffins.
Ingredients
250 g Butter
230 g Brown Sugar
4 Eggs
4 tbsp Milk
1 Tbsp Honey
2 tsp Vanilla
250 g Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
3 Large Apples
1 tbsp Cinnamon
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
Method
Pare the apples and cut into small squares
Mix Cinnamon, sugar and Apples together, coating well. Set Aside
Cream butter and Sugar till light and fluffy
Add eggs a little at a time and continue beating
Fold in Sifted flour and baking powder
Add in Honey, Milk and Vanilla. Mix Well
Fold in Apples ensuring it is well mixed
Fill muffin cups ¾ full and bake in 190°C oven for 20-25 minutes or till done
Very easy to make, very easy to eat and very delicious too - not to mention healthy! The kids had the leftover muffins for breakfast the next day while we also gave some away to some of our guests - who were really all family anyway!

They look AND sound delicious! Apple and Cinnamon - what's not to like? Well done!
I made some apple muffins last week as well Dharm. We were definitely on the same wave length.
Oh my! Those look so delicious! Such great flavours =D.
OMG I totally FREAKED when you commented on my blog!!! ( This isn't meant to come out as stalkerish as it sounds) I've ben reading yours for about half a year now!!!! I LOVE the James Bond DB stories too!!!! BTW, where is your Canolli post? Anyways, those muffins look really good too! Are there any other Malaysians on DB?
Those muffins look lovely! Anything with apples is gorgeous!
Cheers,

These look great! I love apple and cinnamon, so I think I would love these! Good work.
I have a feeling that if you start with a creamed butter and sugar mixture it's a cupcake, and if you start with a dry mixture that you add a wet mixture to it's a muffin. But who cares? It's apple and cinnamon, and that is always good!
I've been looking for more muffins recipes. Apple muffins are probably my favorite but you can never find them in a bakery. I'm defintley going to make my own now.
These are lovely Dharm and I sure don't care what you call them, as long as you saved me one :) Your choice of the small papers for cups is just what I've been doing now and find so perfect.
can I add applesauce in this recipe????
