Apple Muffins With Pecan Topping

Delicious with cheese - by Barbara Northwood
  • 22 Mar 2019
Apple Muffins With Pecan Topping
Prep: 10 Minutes - Cook: 20 Minutes - Easy - Serves 12
Proudly supported by

These muffins aren’t too sweet – I like mine warm with a slice of cheese. For a variation, try replacing the apple with a chopped banana and play around with the spices.

Ingredients

350g/12oz plain flour

25g/1oz butter

50g/2oz dark muscovado sugar, plus 1 tbsp extra for the topping

50g/2oz pecans, chopped

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tsp cinnamon

284ml tub soured cream

1 egg, beaten

3 eating apples (about 140g/5oz each), peeled and cored

2-3 tbsp milk

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line a muffin tin with muffin cases. In a small bowl, use your fingertips to rub 50g of the flour together with the butter to make breadcrumbs. Stir through 1 tbsp sugar and the chopped pecans, then set aside. 

  2. In a large bowl, sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt, then stir in the sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Coarsely grate two of the apples, then beat together with the soured cream, egg and 2 tbsp milk. Make a well in the dry ingredients and quickly fold through the wet ingredients, adding an extra tbsp milk if really dry. Don’t over-mix or your muffins will be tough. It doesn’t matter if there are lumps of flour

  3. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases – they should be about two-thirds full – then sprinkle over the pecan topping. Thinly slice the final apple, then poke slices into the tops of the muffins. Bake for 20 mins or until risen, golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
