Apples, Fall, MY FAVORITE

Summer is full of being way to busy and not enough time to truly enjoy the splendor of the season, but with the changing into Fall, and the color of leaves i think we all tend to slow down a little and take advantage of the last bit of the growing season. the Picking of stone fruits and wandering through pumpkin patches.

Fall is a great time of year, my favorite, that the smells, taste, and colors are so evident and unmistakable. It is a true time to lay in bed a few min longer and hopefully you can train a pet to bring you the paper, or a loved one, that you and a warm pair of socks can curl up to latest news and a cup of joe.

It took me a while, but I finally whipped up a batch of apple muffins–and were they ever worth the wait. They were so delicious. To me, these muffins taste like fall; the whole wheat gives them an almost savory taste, and serves as the perfect compliment to the sweet tart flavor of the apples. Even better is these muffins with great yellow butter!

Here’s my recipe: Apple Spice Muffins Add the following ingredients together in a bowl: -1 1/3 cup all-purpose whole wheat flour-2 teaspoons baking powder-1/2 teaspoon baking soda-1/4 cup of sugar-1/4 teaspoon salt-2 teaspoons cinnamon-1 teaspoon Jamaican allspice-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg Then, add the following together in a separate bowl and mix well:-5 tablespoons butter, melted then cooled-1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt-1/4 cup low-fat or skim milk-1 egg-1 teaspoon vanilla extract Once you’ve combined the wet ingredients, fold them into the dry mix. Don’t over-mix or your muffins will be flat. When you’re done, add in: -Two large apples, minus the core, cut into small cubes. Any type will do; I used Honey Crisp Apples! Spoon the mixture into a 12-muffin pan lined with baking cups, then bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
i hope you love these as much as i did!
