The weekend is over :( for y'all anyways lol! You know me being off work and such makes everyday a weekend, which gets old real fast. It seems like a lovely idea to lead the life of a cat ;) but in reality it gets boring quick, unless you're a cat then it's okay lol. Today was a very productive day for me :) I started my day off right by going to church, it was nice to see my pastor again although he asked where I had been :/ (I know bad girl) It was okay though, they are well aware of my health issues and were just happy to see me again :) Then Heather and I finally caught up!! I told you I felt good about today lol, we completely lost track of time and were chatting for 2 1/2 hours. We did a fun little trade, I gave her baked goods and she gave me board games win win!!
When I finally did make it home I realized, "hey what about the muffins I was going to make?". So I looked at a couple different recipes and decided I was going to make my own. I did that because I couldn't find something close enough to what I wanted, later this week I may make my spicy pear muffins because they are super yummy! Now that it's getting chilly outside I am all about warm spices and fall hauls :) Anyone who lives/lived in Ontario knows what September brings, an abundance of apples and pears!! Two of my very favorite fruits, especially to bake with ;)
Spicy Apple and Pear Muffins
Ingredients
1/2C apple, diced
1/2C pear, diced
1/3C applesauce
3/4C milk (if you use skim it make the recipe fat free!)
1/2tsp salt
1 1/2tsp baking powder
1/3C sugar
1 3/4C all-purpose flour
1/4tsp ground ginger
1/2tsp cinnamon
1/2tsp allspice
(I pre-seasoned the fruit a little before with extra)
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 375F, greasing a muffin tin. Mix together in a large bowl; sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice.
2) Add the flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and applesauce to the sugar mixture. Do not over beat.
3) Stir in the diced apples and pears.
(I did a double batch, that's why there's so many)
Right now my whole house smells like delicious fall baking, the smell is very close to apple pie :) These muffins are smaller and dense, but you definitely only need one to curb your hunger. I like the combination of the apples and pears together, they mesh really well and each bring there own dynamic to the muffin. The apple is a little more tart so the pear gives it a little sweetness, I personally prefer fruit muffins because I like the moistness they give.
I know this post is a little short but my shoulder is all of a sudden screaming at me :( Guess that's all I can give y'all tonight, but hey something is better than nothing right? Until next time....
Stay sweet,
Jennifer xoxoxoxo
