Apple Crazy

     We bought a bushel of Gayla apples from Big Chief Apple Orchard recently.  I also picked up this cookbook on apples by Patricia Mitchell.  

 I really enjoy her cookbooks.  They are an excellent read, and this one turned into a lesson on Johnny Appleseed, for us.  I've probably made half of the recipes by now.  Here are a couple of pictures.  We've liked everything, so far.

Cherry or Berry Muffin Recipe

I wish I could show you a picture of these awesome muffins we fixed for breakfast this morning.

But I can't, because we ate them all very quickly.

But I am happy to share the recipe and put a link with this week's meal plan.

Cherry or Berry Muffin Recipe

2 Cups all purpose flour

2 Cups of oats

1 cup dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

In a large bowl, mix all those dry ingredients up, then add:

2 cups skim milk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Finally, fold in:

4 cups of berries (blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or cherries)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Spray muffin cups with buttery cooking spray.

Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.  Bake 20 - 25 minutes, or until light golden brown.  This made 24 large muffins.
