Super Moist Apple Muffins

'Tis the season when apples are in abundance!   I shared with you a few weeks ago about the 35 gallon tote full of apples my husband picked for me, and since we have been enjoying many apple treats!  I hope to share a few with you over the next several weeks and here is the first.

A few years ago a friend shared this recipe with me.  I have made some slight changes to fit my family since then, but it has stood the test of time (and many breakfasts!) at my house and I think it will at yours too.  Enjoy! :)

Apple Muffins

2 c flour
1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 box instant pudding (your preference, Devil's Food chocolate was used in the batch pictured above)
3/4 c sugar
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 c butter/margarine (melted)
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2/3 c milk (more if too thick)
2 c chopped apples

Pre-heat oven to 400F.  Grease or line muffin tin. In large bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix well.  In a separate bowl combine butter, milk, eggs and vanilla.  Add to flour mixture and stir until moist.  Mix in apples.  Spoon into the muffin tin.  Bake in upper 1/3 of oven for 20 - 25 minutes or a toothpick comes out clean.

Makes about 24 muffins.

Happy Harvest Cooking! :)
