Apple Raisin Sconey Muffins
Apples and cinnamon...What a fabulous combination! Throw in some raisins and you've got a muffin that is begging to eaten! Top it with a little sugar drizzle and it becomes even better! This is the perfect muffin with or without topping when you need a little snack or even just want a delicious breakfast on the go!
What You'll Need For the Muffins:
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
3/4 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 stick of butter, softened
1 cup of dried apples, chopped
1 cup of raisins, chopped
1 cup of sour cream
1 cup of milk
Pre-heat oven to 425 F.
In a large bowl stir together flour, sea salt, baking powder and baking soda until mixed. Next stir in sugar and cinnamon until incorporated. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry mixture until crumbly. Stir in apples and raisins until incorporated. Next stir in sour cream and milk until sticky batter/dough forms. Spoon dough into a muffin pan that has been lined with cupcake liners and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
What You'll Need For The Drizzle:
1 cup of powdered sugar
A few tablespoons of water
Drizzle over muffins right before serving.
Notes: Chopped pecans or walnuts would be a fabulous addition to the muffins!

Yum! I'm going to have to try these. I think they'll be a good way to use the rest of my dried apples from this week. =)

I just love muffins - your Apple Raisin muffins look really yummy. I too am not a fan of scones and also skipped this week.

Scones have always seemed dry and hard to me. I've had people give me recipes and say "Oh you'll love these!" but sadly I still haven't found one that I love or even like for that matter. I just hate to bake something and trash it, though if I had seen the stipulation that we couldn't come up with our own recipes anymore in time I could have baked them and sent them to work with Jamison...
