Doesn't it seem like now that we are in the month of October, pumpkin flavored food is EVERYWHERE?? As much as I love marshmallow Peeps, when I saw the pumpkin spice flavored ones on the JustBorn website, I have to admit, I found that a bit, ahem, different. Well, all righty then. There are other fall foods besides pumpkin, right? How about the apple?!?! More specifically, apple butter! I looked at the side of the apple butter jar and butter is NOT listed under the ingredients. Why in the world is it called apple butter then?!?!?! Anyways, I wondered if an entire cup of apple butter was put into these muffins if they would be too moist. Well, I shouldn't have worried! They were just right. Whew!
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 cup white flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup apple butter
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside. In large bowl, put the butter, light brown sugar, white sugar, egg, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, salt and apple butter. Mix well with electric mixer or by hand. "Fold" in the oats and walnuts with a large spoon. Distribute batter evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Store covered at room temperature for up to three days. Makes one dozen.
