Apple and Cinnamon Muffins

Ingredients

2 eating apples

100g brown sugar

240ml apple juice

1tso ground cinnamon

90ml oil

1 egg

250g gluten-free self raising flour

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C.

Peel, core and chop the apples into cubes about 1cm in length. Add this to a saucepan, with the sugar, and about 60ml of the apple juice. Let the sugar dissolve in the juice, and gently cook the apples for around 5 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon.

Take the saucepan off the heat, and let the apples and sugar cool down completely. 

Add the rest of the apple juice, then a beaten egg, and lastly the flour. Divided between 12 muffin cases and bake for 22-25 minutes.

Notes

If you do not allow the apples to cool completely, when the flour is combined with the apples, the raising agent will activate, and start making carbon dioxide. This creates muffins without the correct level of fluff and bounce. Let it cool!
