Brown sugar and apple

1 Minute Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Apples

The other night, I really wanted some baked appley goodness. The only trouble was I was supposed to be working, not baking.

And then, I remembered this marvelous invention we have in the kitchen.

My respect for this machine went way up when I realized I could have sweet, cinnamon baked apple in just 1 minute. And the fact that someone left a smidge of vanilla ice cream in the freezer for me made my quick dessert even better.

This is much more method than recipe, but I’ll write it up as a recipe anyway.

1 Minute Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Apples

Ingredients

• 1 apple
• 1 Tbs. brown sugar more or less, according to your taste
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon more or less
• 1 tsp. water more or less or none, if you don’t want it very syrupy

Love love love this kind of simple ‘recipe’…soooo glad you shared. I’ll be enjoying it very soon. Brilliant!

Thank you for a great alternative to a calori heavy dessert. Warm apples with just enough sugar and cinnamon, and quick to make. I didn’t miss the crust of an apple pie at all.
Added granola to mine for a little crunch.

Love this. Great addition to breakfast. I would pour a little cream over it instead of the ice cream. This post is in my Friday Finds this week. Thanks so much for sharing, Tiffany.

This is so amazing! I love the taste and so easy to make! Now only if there was some kind of choclatey thing like this…..

I also happy with my results! and this was so easy you can see pictures of mine on instagram at A.ROBERTS517 they are fabtastic. can not wait to share them…

This is really good – I added other fruit with it (like carmalized bananas and cooked strawberries) and topped it with vanilla ice cream and maple nuts.

Some one please give me a good and easy peach cobbler. Recipe. Thank you

2 cups whole milk, 2 cups flour (Self rising), 1.5 cups sugar, 1.5 sticks butter, 2 cans of peaches in syrup. Heat oven to 350. Put pan with butter in oven while preheating. The butter should melt. Mix the milk, sugar, flour in bowl. Will be lumpy. Pour this in middle of butter in pan. Do not stir. Pour peaches in middle of that. Do not stir. Cook for one hour.

Thank you, just what i was looking for. I done mine for 2 minutes in microwave and more water for saucier affect. Preferred the softer apple result with warm custard.

Just what I needed tonite. Thank you!

It’s a nice little treat without being too heavy, isn’t it! Glad you enjoyed it, Carleen

What setting should I use on my 1000 Watt microwave?

What is the power output of your microwave?

What size and type of apple did you use?

Is demerara sugar a good alternative to brown sugar?

I hope that’s not too many questions.

Magic Stay-Moist Apple Muffins

If you’ve ever been disappointed by dry day-after muffins, these Apple Muffins are going to blow your mind. They stay 100% fresh for 4 to 5 days!

Made with fresh apples, in one bowl, this magic muffin recipe is super quick to prepare and I’m guessing you have everything you need to make this!!

Stay-moist Apple Muffins!

If you’ve ever been disappointed / annoyed at stale, dry muffins the day after making them, these Apple Muffins are going to blow your mind!! They’re super moist on the day and they stay moist for 4 to 5 days!!

Here’s the secret to keep muffins moist…

The secret to these stay-moist Apple Muffins are:

Brown sugar instead of white – brown sugar retains moisture far better in baked goods; and

Only 1 egg – Eggs dry out baked goods. Well, the egg white part does. That’s why you’ll find some baking recipes only call for egg yolks – because it binds without drying out the batter.

And that’s the only difference between the batter for these muffins and the usual muffin mixes!

Miracle stay-moist muffin recipe

This magic stay-moist muffin recipe is a great master muffin mix because it’s made with pantry staples:

flour – wholewheat OR white

cinnamon (or other spice mix)

No buttermilk, no yoghurt, no sour cream.

I know there are muffin recipes out there that swear by them for moist muffins. But they aren’t required for this recipe. I promise you, these Apple Muffins are going to be super moist straight out of the oven – and they will stay moist for 4 to 5 days. No need to even warm them up!

Wondering what the vinegar is for?

Just a touch of vinegar gives baking soda a kick start, the same effect that buttermilk and yoghurt has when used in batters. Useful for muffins to give that dome a boost.

Customise to your hearts’ content

I’ve made Apple Muffins here, but this miracle muffin batter is just waiting for your own add ins! Just add 2 to 2.5 cups of diced fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, chocolate or other chips – go wild!

For the fresh fruit, just be sure it’s fruit that won’t bleed too much and become mushy when baked. Some fruits I’ve used that work very well include:

Berries – blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, mulberries

Strawberries (use small ones)

With the super long shelf life of these Apple Muffins, they are ideal for grab and go snacks, popping into lunch boxes, afternoon teas and just generally devouring on an as-needed basis.

With the sweet little dome, a sparkling sugar crust (if you so choose), tender pieces of apple and a hint of cinnamon fragrance, they look and smell as great as they taste! Enjoy! – Nagi x

A lot of muffin recipes are just kind of ho-hum, but not this one–it is the best apple muffin recipe ever! I made it last month and forgot to save it. Then I had to wade through dozens of recipes, trying to find it again. So glad I finally found it (and now I have saved it)!
I think the simplicity is what makes it–just the right amount of sweet, the cinnamon is not overpowering, and the old fashioned touch of vinegar and baking soda makes it moist and delicious, like a cake. A perfect way to make use our abundant apple crop this year. Thank you!

Canan says

Absolutely delicious! the kiddos devoured them, and we were able to get a couple for ourselves. Will be making these often. Love your site, and your recipes.

Lisa says

Recipe is great!! Added some chunks of cream cheese in batter as well and it was so good.

Adele says

Yummy muffins! I made these with gf flour with no probs. Think I will try using a granny smith apple next time to get more of a zing!

Rocio Thompson says

Can I make this recipe with almond flour?

Helen says

OMG I am a fan of your cooking and have tried a lot of recipe but this muffin recipe is the best!! I made both apple and cinnamon as well as chocolate chips with the same recipe = and they turned out awesome. Thanks again

Julia says

Hi Nagi, I am glad I found your website. I tried this wonderful recipe for apple muffins. I added a dash of nutmeg (grated), 1/4 C raisins and 1 tsp. vanilla to the batter. The muffins were super moist and the best I have ever made!

Agnes says

I made these muffins as directed, and they are deliciously moist! The apple pieces make them taste like apple pie. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us, Nagi! It’s a keeper.

Carol says

These muffins are the BOMB! So easy to make. They come out super moist and are so tasty. I think using muffin tin liners is probably a must.

Nagi says

That’s why I call them magic! 😀 N x

Mimi says

Made this as a work snack for tomorrow but I’m not sure they’ll last that long! I used a gluten free flour mix because I have celiac disease but didn’t change anything else and they turned out amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!

Nagi says

One of my most used recipes! Glad to hear your g/f option worked!

Stefany says

Hi, Nagi –
I love this recipe, but my toddler is turned off by the chunks of apple. Have you ever done it with grated apple instead?
Desperately Seeking Homogeneity

Stefany says

Update: I tried it with 2 cups of peeled, grated apple. The texture is a bit heavy, but my kid loves them and they taste great.

Jenni says

Fantastic muffins, will definitely make again – thank you! Do you think these would work with pears instead? I have a glut off the tree in my garden and am struggling for ideas!

Harriet says

Hi can these work with coconut flour

Nagi says

Unfortunately not, it will change the texture sorry! N x

Jay says

Hi Nagi, would these work as well in the giant muffin tins? (6)

Nagi says

Yes 100%, they will just take a little longer to cook. N x

Anita Westbrook says

These turned out great! So easy to make. Thank you x

Catherine says

Hi Nagi, looking at what I have in my pantry – could I used tinned apples? And could I replace the milk and vinegar with buttermilk? If so what quantities? Thanks!

Lynette B says

Hello. Is this wholemeal plain flour or wholemeal self raising flour?

Nagi says

Hi Lynette, plain flour here – N x

Lynette B says

Thanks Nagi. I’ve made them before & couldn’t remember what I used 🙄. They were so delicious. I took the last of them to a lunch with friends & everyone wanted the recipe. (They had even been frozen). Thanks again

N says

110% accurate. So moist. I put less brown sugar as I wanted to make it slightly healthier. Came out perfect. Saving this one as a top fav! Best muffin recipe ever.

Grace southey says

Hi Ngai is it possible to use buckwheat flour? I’m all out of flour and so is the supermarket!

Nagi says

Hi Grace, buckwheat flour has a different hydration so it may affect the texture. I’d love to know if you have it a go though! N x
