Winter Recipe: Apple And Custard Muffins
These scrumptious treats from Adele Trathan are delightfully indulgent!
Ingredients:
- 250ml (8½fl oz) semi-skimmed milk
- 90g (3oz) butter, melted
- 250g (9oz) self-raising flour
- 150g (5oz) plain flour
- 200g (7oz) caster sugar
- 1 medium egg
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 80ml (3fl oz) ready-made thick custard
- 80g (3oz) canned apple pie mix
- 2 small apples, cored and thinly sliced
- 2 tbs brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Method:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190C (375F, Gas Mark 5). Line some muffin pans with paper muffin cases to make approximately 20 muffins.
Step 2
In a large bowl add the butter, plain and self-raising flour, caster sugar, cinnamon, egg and milk and stir until it has just combined. Do not over mix.
Step 3
Evenly spoon half of the mixture into the muffin cases until approximately half full. Make a well in the centre of each muffin mixture and drop in 1 heaped teaspoon of apple pie mix and 1 heaped teaspoon of custard.
Step 4
Add the remaining mixture to the top of each muffin and roughly smooth the tops with the back of a teaspoon dipped in warm water.
Step 5
Top each muffin with 2 or 3 slices of fresh apple. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over each muffin.
Step 6
Bake for approximately 25 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with extra custard if desired. What a sweet treat!
