Apple Cheddar Muffins
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup apple grated unpeeled
- 2 1/2 cups flour all-purpose
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups cheddar cheese grated, preferably aged
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
- Lightly grease your muffin tin, both inside and along the top edge. I usually use a silicone pastry brush and a bit of vegetable shortening. It just takes a few seconds. Or you could just use paper liners in your tray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup of the grated cheddar cheese. Whisk together well.
- In another bowl or a large measuring cup, lightly beat together the egg, milk, melted butter, and grated apple.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry, and gently stir together until just blended. It's okay if there are still some streaks of flour - with muffins, undermixing is always better than overmixing.
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, portion the batter into the muffin tin. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden. Allow to cool on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
