For my first recipe post I wanted something simple. Although I have a big list of recipes to be tried, the apple raisin muffin aired in Food TV was the one that kept coming to my mind. I saw it a couple of months earlier in Paula Deen’s show. So this morning I went to Food TV’s site and got the recipe. The original recipe yields 5 dozen mini muffins. I did not want to bake so much because it was the first time I was gonna try it. So I scaled down the recipe and it did come out well.

| Madhuram | Muffins | Baking |
Ingredients-A:
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Raisins
- 1 Cup Grated Apples
- 1/4 Cup Butter
- A Pinch Cinnamon
- A Pinch Nutmeg
Ingredients-B:
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tspn Baking Soda
- 3/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts
Procedure:
- Combine all ‘Ingredients-A’ in a sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Combine all ‘Ingredients-B’ in a large bowl. Add the cooled mixture to it and stir until blended.
- Fill them in lined mini muffin tins and bake for 15 minutes at 350F.
Taste:
- It passed the taste test by my husband and son.
My Notes:
- The above measurements yielded exactly 2 dozen mini muffins.
- The original recipe called for granulated sugar only, but I added a mixture of both light brown sugar and white sugar because I personally feel that the combination of these 2 results in a better taste.
- I did not add clove powder because I did not have it.
- After combining the wet ingredients with the dry, I felt that it required some more liquid, so I added some milk.
- I also topped the muffins with turbinado sugar before putting them in the oven.
- I baked a dozen first for 15 min and tested with a tooth pick to check if it was done. The tooth pick did not come out clean from some of the muffins so I baked it for another 2 minutes. By the time the first batch came out the remaining batter became a little more firm, so I added some more milk and baked the second dozen for 17 min and the tooth pick came out clean.
- Update: Originally I used 3/4th cup of sugar both brown sugar and white sugar combined. But some of my friends told me that it was very sweet. I think I would reduce the quantity of sugar to 1/2 cup instead of 3/4th of a cup the next time I bake it. So I have changed the recipe to 1/4 cup of each sugar.
I made these yesterday with cooking apples in fairy cake cases. Straight forward to make and are tasty but I wouldn’t’ call them muffins. They have a very different texture to muffins, not as soft and much drier, almost like rock cakes. I added quite a bit of extra milk to the batter.
Risha when I Googled to see what fairy cake cases are and I came to know that it’s small size muffins. So I’m not sure if it’s the same size as the mini muffins I have baked. The baking time varies according to the size we choose to bake and that also will affect the texture.
Hello, I would prefer to make one dozen regular size muffins with this recipe. Advice?
You can use the recipe as it is. I’m guessing you will get 12-15 regular size muffins.
I got 12 smallish muffins. Not sure why. I did add more milk to the batter. A very different batter than the muffins i usually make. I was a tad concerned at the look and seeming dryness of the finished muffin. BUT they were amazing. Kinda like scones.
Hmm..I don’t remember being it that dry. Did you get the liquid ingredients right?
Hi Madhu, what is the measurement of 1 cup (in gm) ? I do have different sizes of measuring cups.
Kindly check the baking measurement page Anita.
i just made them i can’t wait to to taste them my friend is coming and i know she’ll like them thanks for the recipe oh my friend is here got to go see ya!!!!
Great!
Do you know the nutrition facts for these?
I’m sorry, I don’t know.
Can I not use nutmeg powder as I don’t have it. Will it greatly affect the taste
Probably try a little. I’m not sure how strong the flavor is.
These turned out great! My kids both loved them. I used fresh ground whole wheat flour instead of all purpose and increased the water to 1 and 1/2 cups. Also, increased the cinnamon and nutmeg slightly.
Thanks Ladyscot4.
They turned out excellent as cookies! Perfect winter treat for those of us in the Southern hemisphere.
I eat eggs but have a coworker who doesn’t. We had some extra apples at work & I wanted to use them make something she could also enjoy. I don’t have mini muffin pans so made them as cookies. I’ve added chopped, dried cranberries in the place of raisins. I’ve also added a pinch of ground ginger, cloves and cardamom.
Thanks for the comment, Alex. I’m glad that you and your friend liked it.
