About this recipe
Inspired by traditional muffin recipes that combine fruits and spices, these Stewed Apple Ginger Muffins aim to bring warmth and comfort in a snack form. Stewing the apples beforehand adds moisture and sweetness while the ginger and cinnamon provide a delightful aroma and flavour. This recipe also reflects a modern twist on healthy snacking, ensuring every bite is packed with wholesome ingredients.
Method
-
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Set the oven to 180°C (350°F). This is important to ensure your muffins bake evenly and rise properly.
-
Step 2: Prepare the muffin tin
Grease the muffin tin with a little oil or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
-
Step 3: Combine dry ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
-
Step 4: Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the stewed apples until well blended.
-
Step 5: Combine wet and dry ingredients
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy muffins.
Be careful not to over-mix as it will lead to dense muffins. -
Step 6: Fill muffin tin
Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
-
Step 7: Bake the muffins
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Ensure the muffins are cooked through; internal temperature should be at least 93°C (200°F). -
Step 8: Cool the muffins
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Tips
- For a more intense ginger flavour, add freshly grated ginger to the wet ingredients, about 5 grams.
- You can replace some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition and a nutty flavour.
- Add nuts or chocolate chips for a more indulgent muffin variation.
