Healthy Big Apple Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450f. Grease and flour or line your large cup muffin pan.
• Mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg, set aside.
• In a seperate bowl mix the oil, egg substitute, vanilla and sugar.
• Then mix in the lowfat buttermilk gently.
• Gently stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the apples until just mixed.
• After filling muffin cups sprinkle the top of each muffin with a little brown sugar.
• Divide the batter evenly (3/4 full) among the muffin cups. Use a large cup muffin pan and this recipe will make 6-8 large muffins (depending on your pan).
• Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the heat down to 400 f and bake an additional 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before turning them onto a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat top and insides of jumbo muffin pan with cooking spray, or line with muffin papers.
• In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar, vanilla, and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at time. Mix together the 1 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in apples and walnuts. Scoop into muffin cups to fill 3/4 full. Lightly sprinkle the tops with cinnamon crumble.
• To make Cinnamon Crumble: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons cubed butter. Mix together using a pastry blender, or two butter knives. The crumble topping should resemble small peas.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If they are browning too quickly, cover with tin foil. Remove from pans, and cool on wire rack.
