Recipe: Cinnamon Apple Duffins (Doughnut Muffins)

Apple and cinnamon, possibly one of my favourite combinations. Not to mention that these duffins don't take a lot of time at all to make. Inspired by my favourite ones from Bea's of Bloomsbury, these are perfect for the colder months. Best served fresh from the oven with a large steaming mug of coffee.

Cinnamon apple duffins (doughnut muffins)

(Recipe adapted from Sweet Treats & More, makes 12 mini or 6 large)

230g plain flour

1 3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

80g unsalted butter, softened

110g soft light brown sugar

1 large cooking apple, peeled and grated

1 egg

65ml whole milk

Cinnamon mix for coating:

50g golden granulated/soft light brown sugar

60g butter

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Heat the oven to 190 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the butter, roughly. Whisk the egg, milk and grated apple together. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Pour into a well greased muffin pan. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes.

For the sugar coating, melt the butter in a small bowl. In another bowl mix the cinnamon and sugar together. When the duffins are cooked, dip each individually in the butter and then the sugar mix to coat.
