Apples, cinnamon, sugar, butter…is there a better combination?!

Momma's Apple Muffins l cookinginmygenes.com

For as long as I can remember I have LOVED anything with apples – from desserts to pancakes to muffins, apples and cinnamon are a classic combination that I just adore.

My Mom used to make these muffins when we were growing up and they did not last more than a day (maybe two) in our house.

Just baking these muffins will give your house this lovely scent of home baked, cozy comfort which is especially lovely with the coolers days approaching.

These muffins are full of apples with a slightly caramel taste and the crumbled topping puts them to another level of deliciousness.  So here they are, Momma’s Apple Muffins!

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Equipment: muffin tin, muffin/cupcake liners, 1 large mixing bowl, 2 smaller bowls
Servings: makes a dozen large muffins

Ingredients:
Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 tbsp flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp cinnamon

Muffin Batter:
1 ½ cups firmly packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil (I actually used avocado oil and it worked great!)
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 ½ cups flour
2 cups peeled & diced apples (about 2 large apples, Gala or a firmer apple work well)

Instructions:

Pre-heat the oven to 325F.

Mix all of the topping ingredients with a fork and set aside.  Peel and dice the apples, set aside.

Combine the brown sugar, vegetable oil and egg in a large bowl – whisk until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, baking soda, salt and vanilla.

Measure out the flour in a small bowl and then alternate adding the flour and buttermilk mixture into the brown sugar bowl, stirring until just combined after each addition to create your batter.

Once all of the flour and buttermilk mixture has been added, fold the apples into the batter.

Spoon the batter into your muffin tin and sprinkle the top of each muffin with the topping.

Bake for 30 minutes or until done.

These muffins will last about 2-3 days in an airtight container (if they’re not all eaten by then!)

I even like them better the second day when the crumbled topping has softened a bit.

You knowwww I love a good cocktail and as we head You knowwww I love a good cocktail and as we head towards Springtime I want to celebrate warmer days ahead with this Lavender French 75 made with @empress1908gin ! Hand-crafted in British Columbia, I couldn’t think of a better gin to add to this cocktail. (Recipe below) #sponsored
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To me a French 75 is just perfect to cheers with BUT I’m shaking things up a bit by adding lavender bitters to complement the botanicals of the @empress1908gin . With the Empress Gin’s subtle earthy notes, the lavender works just beautifully to make a lovely Spring sip. Plus the gorgeous colour transforms from a vivid indigo blue to a more pink hue with the addition of the fresh lemon juice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, let’s cheers to a more bright & beautiful season upon us! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
French 75 with lavender bitters
Ingredients:
1 ½  oz gin
¾ oz  freshly squeezed lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2-3 dashes lavender bitters
Top with prosecco & a lemon twist
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instructions:
Shake gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and lavender bitters over ice. Strain into a coupe or flute. Top with prosecco & garnish with a lemon twist and/or lavender sprig.  
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip: Need to make simple syrup? In a small saucepan combine ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.
