Rye Apple Muffins
Servings 8 Muffins
Ingredients
For the Muffins:
- 2 Golden Apples (peeled, cored and chopped)
- 2 eggs (medium size)
- 150 g Whole Rye flour
- 150 g all purpose flour
- 250 g milk
- 100 g brown sugar
- 100 g butter softened
- 100 g raisins
- 8 g baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 orange zest
For the Topping:
- 1 Golden Apple (cored and sliced)
- brown sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line 8 muffin molds with foil.
-
In a large bowl cream together butter, sugar and orange zests with a wooden spoon. Add in the eggs and salt and keep stirring.
Sift in the flour and the baking powder, then add the milk. Stir until just combined: you will get a pretty thick batter.
-
In a small bowl combine the Apples and the raisins with 1 Tbsp of flour and add this mixture to the batter: this prevents them from sinking during the baking process.
-
Fill the Muffins cases 2/3 full, add the toppings (apple slices and brown sugar) and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the tops are light golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
