Tummy Pleasers

These are way better than those cheap, fake muffin mixes you buy in the store.  You know, the ones that say “artificial apples”or “artificially flavored”, if they aren’t apples, what in the heck are they??  I don’t even want to know, I’ll stick with these, thanks!!

Apple Muffins

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup shortening

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

1 cup raw, unpeeled, chopped apple

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon until well blended.  Then add the shortening, egg, milk and apple, stirring very well until blended.  Fill greased muffin pans or use paper or foil baking cups in the molds.  Top with the following:

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup chopped nuts (whatever nuts you like can be used, or nuts can be omitted)

Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until starting to brown on top.
