Apples, apples and even more apples, we have two apple trees and we are trying to remember all the apple recipes we can to use up apples. We are going to be making Caramel Apples and many more recipes with apples be sure to check back!

Fresh Apple Muffins

*4 cups Macintosh Apples peeled and diced or baking apple of your choice
*1 cup of Sugar
*2 large Eggs or 3 medium
*1/2 cup of Vegetable Oil or Olive Oil
*2 teaspoons Vanilla
*2 cups All-Purpose Flour
*2 teaspoons Baking Soda
*2 teaspoons Cinnamon
*1 teaspoon Salt
*1 cup Raisins (Optional)
*1 cup chopped nuts, pecans etc… (Optional)

Note: These need to be made the night before baking.

Mix in a bowl all the above ingredients together, scoop mixture into put in a gallon Ziploc bag and remove as much air as possible. Lay the bag flat in the fridge overnight. The mixture might be on the dry side but the moisture pulls out of the apples overnight. If it seems to dry in the morning add another egg.

In the morning using greased or Pam sprayed muffin tins. (You could use cupcake cups but they look more like a muffin if the batter is put directly in the muffin tin.)

Fill each muffin cup with 3/4 full of batter. Bake muffins at 350* F. for 20-25 minutes. (If using small muffin tins bake about 10- 12 minutes.) Watch to make sure they do not over bake.
