~Recipe Monday: Maple-Drizzled Apple Muffins~

I made these awesome muffins this weekend.  They were delicious!  If you are a fan of apple cake then you should try these maple glazed muffins. 

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 cups chopped, peeled apples
• 12 pecan halves
• GLAZE:
• 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. In a small bowl, mix milk, butter, syrup and egg; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Top each with a pecan half. Bake at 400 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Cool completely. For glaze, mix sugar and syrup; drizzle over muffins.

ENJOY!
