Final Comments


I used kosher salt, large eggs, butter flavor shortening, buttermilk powder, and gala apples.
I used more than 1/2 c sugar to roll them in and was very generous with cinnamon.
I baked for 19 minutes.

They are very tricky to get out of the muffin cups in one piece. Next time, I will most likely use sprayed cupcake liners and just sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top.
These have wonderful flavor, hot or cold!!
