My grandfathers, uncles, and my Dad were coal miners in the western part of Virginia and southern West Virginia - hard, honest work for minimal pay. The women in our families worked equally as hard in raising children and keeping house - and making the most wonderful meals out of the simplest ingredients! I have learned from my own cooking experience that the best part of preparing something is in sharing it with others who enjoy it, too. That is the purpose behind this blog: not only to preserve our family recipes, but to share them with others who can use and enjoy them as much as we have. Thanks for stopping by! Cris

Apple Cranberry Sauce Muffins

 








APPLE and CRANBERRY SAUCE MUFFINS

shared by Cris Watson

Makes 12 mini-muffins or 6 regular muffins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees


Ingredients:

1 small sweet apple - peeled, cored, and diced into small pieces

1/3 cup cranberry sauce (use a fork or knife to shred the sauce into small bits)

1 egg

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup sour cream

½ teaspoon vanilla

1 cup SELF-RISING flour

½ cup sugar

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ginger


Directions:


  1. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.

  1. Add in the diced apples and toss to coat.

  1. In a separate bowl, slightly beat the egg then add in the oil, sour cream, vanilla. Stir to blend.

  1. Add the cranberry sauce, walnuts, and the dry ingredients.

  1. Stir to blend all of the ingredients together. Do not beat or over-work the batter; stir and fold just to work in all of the dry ingredients. If the batter is too stiff or dry, add a small amount of MILK a little at a time to get the right consistency..

  1. Spray the muffin tins with a non-stick spray.

  1. Fill the muffin tin cups equally with the batter and bake 12 to 14 minutes.

  1. Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin cups.
