What has my Daughter been Doing?

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Well, first of all she baked Apple Cinnamon Muffins - recipe here. However, we did change the recipe - instead of all purpose flour (plain flour), we used SR flour and did away with the baking powder, and we grated the apple rather than chopping it finely. They turned out very well.

Next, she made an Apple Cake, which is a recipe from a very dear family friend in Tumby Bay. Her husband says, "It's not really Apple Pie, but it's the next best thing to it."


Apple Cake


Apple Cake Recipe
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup sugar
1 cup S.R. flour
1 egg
¾ cup milk
3 or 4 apples peeled and sliced

Method
Cream butter and sugar well together. Add egg and mix well. Add milk and mix well. Add flour and mix well until there are no lumps.

Pour half the batter into a greased cake tin. Layer sliced apples over mixture. Pour remaining batter over apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes.

These recipes are tried and true. I thought that it was supposed to be holidays, but it appears that no matter how hard we try to be on holidays, learning will still occur!

Hi Therese,
If you are going to try the Apple Muffins, I suggest doubling the apple content, as they are very dry. :P

Have a great week,

Hi Sarah,
The apple cake is delicious, and very moist, but the muffins are a little dry. Next time we are going to double the amount of apple. :)

Have a great week,
Blessings,

OH yum. I am always looking for breakfast type foods like this. I am going to give it a try. I like the shaved apple idea too. Seems like that would make it easier to make and I am all for easy.

Hi Mommyx12,
Well, I guess that you could eat it for breakfast, but we usually have it with custard and ice-cream. :)

Have a great week,
