Tasty Tuesday

 Mom made Apple Butter Muffins for the very first time~

The recipe~

• 3⁄4cup apple butter
• 2teaspoons cinnamon
• 1⁄2teaspoon clove
• 1⁄2cup water
• 1⁄2cup canola oil
• 1 1⁄4cups brown sugar
• 2large eggs
• 1 3⁄4cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1teaspoon baking soda
• 3⁄4teaspoon salt

We added 1/4 cup of dried cranberries to the batter also.

DIRECTIONS

• In a mixing bowl, combine the apple butter, cinnamon and cloves.
• Whisk in the water, then oil, then brown sugar, then the eggs (not all together). Mix until smooth.
• Sift together (important so you don't get white lumps in your dark bread), flour, baking soda and salt. Then combine with the apple butter mixture and mix until smooth.
• Pour into a greased 9-inch loaf pan or 3 to 4 mini-loaf pans.
• Bake at 350F for 65-70 minutes for the 9-inch pan or 45-50 minutes for the mini-loaves.
• Let stand for 10-15 minutes to cool slightly before removing from the pans and letting cool completely on a wire rack.

Our muffins took about 35 minutes to bake.
