Ingredients
Makes: 12 muffins
- 2 eating apples
- 2 Pears
- 250 grams plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 125 grams light brown sugar plus 4 teaspoons for sprinkling
- 125 millilitres honey
- 60 millilitres runny natural yogurt
- 125 millilitres flavourless vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons of Warners Apple & Pear Gin
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/gas mark 6/400°F and line a 12-bun muffin tin with papers.
-
Peel and core the apples, chop them into small dice, and put them to one side.
-
Measure the flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon into a bowl.
-
Whisk together the 125g brown sugar, honey, yogurt, vegetable oil, and eggs in another bowl.
-
In a small bowl add the second teaspoon of ground cinnamon and the 4 extra teaspoons of brown sugar. This will make the topping for the muffins.
-
Now fold the wet ingredients into the dry, adding the 4 tablespoons of gin to the mix and stirring well. Add the chopped apple and pear, and stir to combine but don't over-mix. To remind you: a lumpy batter makes for a lighter muffin.
-
Spoon this bumpy batter into the muffin papers, then sprinkle the rubbly topping mixture over them.
-
Pop the tin into the preheated oven, and bake for about 20 minutes, by which time they will have risen and become golden.
-
Take the tin out of the oven and let it stand for about 5 minutes before gingerly taking out the muffins and placing them on a wire cooling rack.
