Apple Cinnamon Sour Cream Muffins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 12 Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups apples, peeled and diced (two apples)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, (reduced fat works great or substitute plain yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray.

Melt butter in microwave on half power. Watch during heating, and stop before completely melted. Swirl to melt remaining butter. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir in diced apples.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla. Drizzle in melted better very slowly, whisking the entire time, to prevent butter from cooking the eggs. Stir in sour cream and sugar.

Pour wet ingredients into dry, and stir until just combined. Batter will be very thick.

Scoop batter evenly into muffin tin using a large disher or ice cream scoop if you have one. Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
