Vegan Apple-Bottomed Gingerbread Muffins

• GINGERBREAD BATTER
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 Ener-G Egg Substitute
• 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 1/3 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup hot water
• APPLE BOTTOMS
• 2 large apples
• 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
2. TO MAKE APPLE BOTTOMS: Peel, core, and slice apples into 1-inch chunks.
3. Mix apple chunks, tablespoon melted margarine, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl until apples are lightly coated.
4. Place a spoonful of apple mixture in the bottoms of a lightly greased muffin pan and set aside.
5. TO MAKE GINGERBREAD BATTER: Combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and spices.
6. Mix egg replacer, melted margarine, molasses, and hot water in a separate bowl, then add this mixture to the dry mixture.
7. Stir just until thoroughly combined and spoon batter over apples.
8. Bake for 25 minutes. I recommend eating these with a fork as the apples don't always stay together, but I promise they're delicious!
