    Cranberry Apple Muffins

    These make a great snack or treat!
    Prep Time10 minutes
    Cook Time16 minutes
    Servings - 18 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 4 eggs
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup applesauce
    • 4 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 1 cup white flour
    • 1 cup wheat flour
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 2 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 cup dried cranberries
    • 1 medium Jonathon or Macintosh apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
    • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
    • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 12 muffin tin wells and 12 mini muffin wells, or 18 regular size muffin tin wells.
    • In stand mixer or large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, applesauce, oil and milk.
    • In small mixing bowl, combine white flour, wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to the wet ingredients in the mixer/mixing bowl and combine until batter forms.
    • In another small bowl, stir together cranberries, finely chopped apples, cinnamon and brown sugar. Fold the cranberries and apples into the batter.
    • Bake in preheated oven, using these time frames: Regular sized muffins for 16-18 minutes. Or mini muffins for 13-15 minutes.
    • **Note: If you don’t use all the wells in your muffin tin, just fill them with water so they don’t brown. Plus the water creates a nice steamy environment in the oven!

      So I was wondering why you had candles coming out of your batter mix, then I realized that was your WISK! Where did you ever find such a fun and colorful wisk? I want one! 🙂

      I got apples for 30¢ a pound last night at Target, so I stocked up… I think I might use some to make these this afternoon. They look awesome!!

        @Rachel @ Surviving The Stores,

        LOL! It was a birthday gift…I believe from Pier 1! And don’t forget you can make and freeze/can applesauce in the crockpot!

      These look sooo good. Think I will have to try these. I really like cranberry orange nut muffins too. Thanks. BTW, I made your Blackeye Pea Casserole last night and it was a big hit.

      My toddler loves helping when I use my kitchenaid, too. His “help” takes baking to a whole new level! Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your blog–what a blessing it has been to my family. Thank you!

      These sound fantastic! Another muffin to add to my baking frenzy I am in. I will be spending yet another day baking tomorrow. .

      Do you think I could just double the apples in this recipe if I didn’t want to use the cranberries?

      It says servings is 18 persons… do you mean 18 muffins? Also it only lists 1 step for directions.
