    Apple Mini Muffins

    Ingredients 

    The ingredients for these little gems include unsalted butter, vegetable oil, egg, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, salt, all-purpose flour, apples, fresh lemon juice, toasted pecans, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut.

    Ingredients

    Making the Apple Mini-Muffins

    To make the Apple Mini Muffins, I start by using a pastry brush to grease the wells of my mini-muffin pan with butter, and then set the pan aside. I also shredded the peeled and cored apple, tossed it with lemon juice, and set it aside.

    Buttering the pan

    Then I beat the butter, oil, egg, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg on high, until everything was well incorporated. This took a minute or so. The mixture was quite liquidy.

    I sifted in the baking soda and salt, and beat the mixture for about 5 seconds. Then I dumped in the flour and stirred the mixture with a wooden spoon, just until the flour was incorporated.

    Adding Flour

    Next I added the shredded apples (that I had tossed with the lemon juice), toasted pecans, crushed pineapple (that I had drained well), and coconut, then stirred to combine everything.

    Adding Apples

    Using a 1Âľ-inch ice cream scoop, I filled the wells of the mini-muffin pan about Âľ full.

    Filling the mini muffin pan

    Into a preheated 375° F oven the mini-muffins went for about 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center came out clean. I let the mini-muffins cool for a minute or so before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool.

    Cooling mini muffins

    I ended up with 3-dozen incredibly moist and delicious Apple Mini-Muffins that were loaded with the goodness of apples, toasted pecans, pineapple and coconut. Yum!
