Cinna-Mini Muffins

Cinna-Mini Muffins

3 c. flour

3 1/2 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

1 t. nutmeg

1 c. sugar

2/3 c. shortening

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 c. milk

1 c. grated apple

Place dry ingredients in bowl.   Cut in shortening until mixture is fine.  Combine egg, milk and apples, then add to dry ingredients.  Mix thoroughly.  

Grease mini-muffin pan and drop a scant teaspoonful of batter into each cup (about 3/4 inch blob...not enough to fill the cup).  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove from pan.  

1 1/2- 2 c. melted butter

2 c. sugar mixed with 4-5 T. cinnamon

Roll muffins in melted butter then coat with Cinnamon-Sugar.  

These little guys are very good cold, but they are to die for fresh out of the oven!  This recipe makes approximately 72 doughnut holes.  It can successfully be halved.  You can also make 18-20 normal-size muffins and bake them for 20-25 minutes.  Bon appetit!
