Muffins are
popular in my house. They’re a quick snack. They’re great at breakfast with a
scrambled egg or lunch with chicken salad. And teenagers will eat them anytime!
This recipe
happened because I was craving an apple muffin and discovered that I had apples
but no applesauce, which is what I usually used to make apple muffins.
Cinnamon Apple Muffins
1 ¾ cups all
purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking
soda
1 ¼ teaspoons
cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon
cinnamon
⅓ cup of margarine
½ cup white
sugar
2 eggs
1 medium apple,
grated
⅓ cup sour milk or buttermilk
Whisk together
the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and cinnamon.
In a large mixing
bowl beat margarine, sugar and eggs until light and frothy. Add the flour mix
alternately with the milk. Stir in the grated apple. Don’t over mix.
Fill paper-lined
muffins tins three-quarters full with batter.
Bake at 375° for
18 to 20 minutes. Makes one dozen muffins. Cool on a wire rack.
Most people know
that I write mysteries under two different names--Sofie Kelly and Sofie Ryan. Sofie
Kelly will have a new Magical Cats mystery, Paws and Effect, coming out October 4th. Sofie Ryan’s
next book is Telling Tails. It will
be available January 3rd.
But the two
Sofies have teamed, so to speak, up for an e-book, which will be out September
6th. Two Tall Tails
offers two novellas, The Cat Burglar,
set in Mayville Heights, home of Owen and Hercules, the Magical Cats; and No More Pussyfooting Around, which
features Sarah Grayson, Elvis the cat, and the senior detectives known as
Charlotte’s Angels.
Giveaway!
To celebrate I’m
giving away two books on CD. One lucky winner will receive Buy a Whisker, the second in the Second Chance Cat mysteries.
Another winner will receive the third in the series, A Whisker of Trouble. Good luck.
Bio:
Sofie Kelly is an author and
mixed-media/fiber artist who lives on the east coast. She’s the author of the New York Times bestselling Magical
Cats mysteries (Faux Paw, Curiosity
Thrilled the Cat) which feature librarian Sarah Paulson and her two very
special cats, Owen and Hercules, who have a magical knack for solving crime.
As
Sofie Ryan she writes the New
York Times bestselling Second Chance Cat Mystery series, (A Whisker of Trouble) featuring re-purpose
store owner Sarah Grayson, a group of senior sleuths, the world’s oldest
computer hacker, and Elvis, a black cat with an uncanny ability to sniff out a

ReplyDeleteThe apple muffin recipe is a great recipe for fall, when apples are in plentiful supply. I always pick up a book when a cat is featured on the cover or has a role in the story line. dbahn@iw.net
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Sofie! You can't go wrong with apples. And I just bought a couple of apples that are the first of this year's crop, at a farmer's market, so this recipe comes at the right time!
