Big Red

I have been saving this for a while — mostly because I have been too busy — but, Gretchen has gone and spent the pennies she has been saving on an KitchenAid Professional 6-Quart Stand Mixer. We call it “Big Red.”

This morning, Gretchen used it to make Apple Muffins.

Apple Muffins

• 2 cups All Purpose Flour
• ¼ cup Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• ¾ cup Apple juice
• ⅓ cup Oil
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 cup Apple, peeled and finely chopped

1. Heat oven to 400°F
2. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper baking cups.
3. In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients — including apples.
4. Break egg into mixer bowl and beat. Add apple juice and oil and mix. Add dry ingredients. Mix until dry ingredients are just moistened — batter will be lumpy.
5. Fill baking cups ⅔ full.
6. Bake for 20 minutes.
