Homemade Apple Muffins

Fall is not only for pumpkin lovers, it’s apple season too!  These homemade apple muffins are sure to be a hit.  They make delicious breakfast grab-and-go or a treat after dinner.  Attending a pot-luck this holiday season?  Bring these muffins that all will love.  Also, the muffin mix makes an excellent gift in a mason jar.

How to Make Apple Muffin Mix

First gather ingredients to make the muffin mix.  Whether you want to make the mix ahead of time to store or give as a gift, or if you want to make the muffins on the same day.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Chopped Dried Apple
• 2 cups Self Rising Flour
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg

Combine all the dry ingredients and store in an airtight container. The ingredients fit perfectly into a quart size canning jar.  Add some lace or a ribbon to make a gift.  You will also need to attach a tag with instructions on how to bake the muffins.

Instructions to attach to jar

Ingredients:

• 1 Egg
• 3/4 Cup Milk
• 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
• Jar of Mix

To make apple muffins combine the mix from jar with the additional ingredients until moistened. Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 400-degrees 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

To make sure your muffins are done, pull out the toothpick test.  Stick a toothpick inside the middle of the muffin and if it comes out without any batter then, ta-da, they are ready!
