ingredients

3 cups white flour
³⁄₄ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¹⁄₄ teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 cup 2% low-fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 large eggs
¹⁄₃ cup molasses
¹⁄₄ cup vegetables
FOLD INTO BATTER
3 large red apples, peeled and diced
³⁄₄ cup walnuts, chopped
TOPPING
²⁄₃ cup flour
¹⁄₄ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¹⁄₄ cup walnuts, chopped

directions

Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add beaten liquid ingredients to the sifted, combined dry ones, in a few strokes, just until moistened. Fold apples and 3/4 cup chopped walnuts into batter before dry ingredients are completely moist. The mixing is held to an absolute minimum, a light stirring for 15-20 seconds, batter will be lumpy. The battter should not be mixed to the point of pouring, ribbon,like from the spoon, but should break into course globs. If the batter has been beaten too long, the gluten in the flour will develop and toughen the dough.
To bake, preheat oven to 400°F Grease bottoms only of medium size muffin cups, fill 2/3 full.
TOPPING:.
In a small bowl, combine all topping ingredients. Mix well. Sprinkle topping over batter in muffin cups.
Bake in preheated 400F oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. If muffins remain in tins a few moments after leaving the oven they will be easier to remove.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
