Apple Whole Wheat Muffins

INGREDIENTS

1    cup all-purpose flour

1    cup whole wheat flour

2    tablespoons baking powder

2    tablespoon granulated sugar

¼   teaspoon salt

½   teaspoon cinnamon powder

2    large eggs

1    cup reduced fat milk (2%)

2    cups peeled, shredded apple (about 3 medium-large)

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 375 F and grease the insides of a 12 muffin tin. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, the baking powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Shred the apples with a hand shredder or in a food processor. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring well to combine. Add the apples and mix them in, but do not over-mix.

Pour the batter with a spoon into the muffin tin until it is just below the rim of each muffin site (should make 10 to 11 muffins.) Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet and place both into the middle of the oven. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown; when a toothpick is inserted into the central muffin and comes out clean, Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing..
