Apple Pecan Muffins Recipes

APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 12-capacity standard muffin pan with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, mix together the pecans, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and the cinnamon.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and the oil until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in the applesauce and vanilla.
• Whisk in the flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Whisk just until combined. Gently stir in the apple chunks.
• Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan and sprinkle with the pecan mixture. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center of one of the muffins comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the muffins to loosen them and unmold. Cool completely on the rack.

APPLE-HONEY-PECAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Lightly coat flat top of a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray (this will prevent muffins from gluing themselves to the pan). Line cups with double layers of muffin liners. Cut apples into quarters; remove cores. Cut each quarter into 4 wedges; set aside.
• Pulse pecans in a food processor until you have a fine meal with a bit of texture, like coarse sand. Heat a large skillet over medium-high, then add pecans and toast, stirring, until darkened and very fragrant (it's okay if they're even a tiny bit burnt in spots), about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.
• Wipe out skillet and return to medium-high heat. Melt butter, swirling pan so that it's evenly coated, until foaming, then add reserved apples. Drizzle with honey and generously sprinkle with sea salt. Cook, tossing often, until apples are tender and deep golden brown and glazed with honey, about 5 minutes. Scrape into a medium bowl and let cool.
• Add all-purpose flour, spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt to nuts; whisk to combine. Beat eggs and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed until mixture is thick, pale, and tripled in volume, 8-10 minutes.
• Combine oil and buttermilk in a measuring glass. With motor running, gradually pour into egg mixture, stopping as soon as incorporated to prevent eggs from deflating. Scrape into bowl with dry ingredients and fold until just combined (be careful not to overmix). Scoop about 2 Tbsp. batter into each muffin cup and place an apple slice on top. Divide remaining batter among muffin cups, filling until just below the top (you may have a spoonful or two of batter left over). Place 1 apple slice on top of each, then spoon any glaze left in the bowl on top. (You'll have a few leftover apple slices; eat them.) Sprinkle each muffin with some raw sugar and a pinch of sea salt.
• Bake muffins until golden brown all over, rotating pan halfway through, 22-28 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
• Do Ahead: Batter can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

APPLE MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 12- cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line with baking liners.
• Place apple and granulated sugar in a medium bowl; toss to coat, and let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
• Stir milk, melted butter, vanilla, and eggs into apple mixture; add to flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 18 to 19 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove muffins to a wire rack, and let cool 15 minutes to serve warm. Or let cool to room temperature.

APPLE AND PECAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C (fan) and line a 12 hole muffin tray with paper cases.
• In a bowl sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and pinch of salt.
• In a separate larger bowl mix together the yogurt, sugar, egg, grated apple, pecan nut and cinnamon.
• Add the dry flour mixture from the first bowl to the larger bowl and fold the ingredients together.
• Spoon the muffin mixture into the muffin trays, just enough mixture to fill ¾ of each hole.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes in the centre of an oven until risen and brown. Check the centre of one with a wooden skewer to ensure it comes out clear, and is therefore cooked through.
• Allow to cool a little in the muffin trays and then transfer onto a wire rack.
• Once cooled mix the icing sugar with the water and spoon over the top of each muffin equally.

APPLE MUFFINS WITH PECAN TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line a muffin tin with muffin cases. In a small bowl, use your fingertips to rub 50g of the flour together with the butter to make breadcrumbs. Stir through 1 tbsp sugar and the chopped pecans, then set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt, then stir in the sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Coarsely grate two of the apples, then beat together with the soured cream, egg and 2 tbsp milk. Make a well in the dry ingredients and quickly fold through the wet ingredients, adding an extra tbsp milk if really dry. Don't over-mix or your muffins will be tough. It doesn't matter if there are lumps of flour.
• Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases - they should be about two-thirds full - then sprinkle over the pecan topping. Thinly slice the final apple, then poke slices into the tops of the muffins. Bake for 20 mins or until risen, golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
