Apple and Blueberry Muffins

Hello wonderful people! Alex here.
I made some really good apple and blueberry muffins that I want to share the recipe for. I have also used this recipe for raspberry or pear muffins too. Really, just use whatever ripe fruit you have on hand and it will probably be good.


These have a delicious sugary topping that makes them so much better. And really, about 1- 1 1/4 cups of almost any fruit will be delicious!

Ingredients:
Batter-
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/3 cup milk (maybe a little bit more)
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup chopped apples (with the skin on, chopped into pea sized pieces)

Topping-
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, cut into small cubes
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400. Grease muffin cups with non stick cooking spray or use muffin cups (I use spray). 
  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, the salt and the baking powder in a bowl. 
  3. In a 1 cup measuring cup, add the vegetable oil and the egg. Then, fill the rest of the cup with milk (it will be about 1/3 cup). Mix this into the flour mixture. 
  4. Fold in blueberries and apples/ whatever fruit you are using. 
  5. Fill muffin cups! This should almost fill them to the top and will make about 12. 
  6. Make the crumb topping by mixing together the 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, butter and cinnamon. You'll want to work the butter in with a fork. 
  7. Sprinkle the topping over the muffins
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
I warmed this up by grilling it in a pan with butter a day later and it was incredible with breakfast (and coffee on the side of course... you all know me). Let me know if anyone else tries this out (:
