Apple Oatmeal Muffins


This is based on Apple Breakfast Bread on allrecipes.com.

1 cup boiling water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar*
2 eggs
2 apples, peeled and cored

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Boil the water, mix in baking soda and oatmeal. Let sit.

Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten eggs.

Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl as you wait for the oatmeal to soak and cool slightly.

Peel, core, and chop apples. Add to wet mixture.

Put dry ingredients into wet, stir to combine using the fewest strokes possible.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.

Notes:
I should have used either 3/4 cup brown sugar, or added 1/4 white sugar, or made a brown sugar crumble for the tops of the muffins.

The apple bread recipe calls for cloves but I didn't have any on hand today.
