Baking for dummies....

I'm going to be the first to say that I don't enjoy baking, but every once in a while I'll pull out one of my husband's many recipes or cookbooks and give it a try. I am one of those people who follows the recipe or baking instructions completely, of which, my husband constantly teases me about. No getting crazy for me. The end result usually turns out pretty yummy, though it doesn't always look appetizing and I am encouraged to try baking again in the future when I feel the urge, which doesn't happen very often, to be honest. I felt the need to share one of my most recent forays into the baking world in comraderie with VB"s most recent post. It's super simple and delicious! :)

Apple & Cinnamon Muffins

Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups superfine sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
4 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 cup sweet butter, melted
2 lightly beaten eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 small apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced

Baking Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan

In medium bowl, combine the flour,sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a larger bowl, beat the oi, butter, eggs, and buttermilk with an electric mixer (or large wooden spoon which I did) until wel combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until nearly combined. Stir in apples. Do not overmix. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan.

Bake for 20 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins and cool on a rack.

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Makes 1/2 dozen.
End recipe...

I was able to get 10 muffins from the mixture and they were pretty good size. I'm going to add a picture of the final result. Again, they might not look too appetizing in the picture, but they were delicious! :) Happy Baking all! :)
