Apple Cheddar Muffins
List of Ingredients
1/2 c shortening
1 c apples, finely chopped
1/2 c sugar
2/3 c grated cheddar
3/4 c quick cooking oats
2 eggs
1/2 c chopped pecans
1 1/2 c flour
3/4 c milk
1 ts baking soda
12 to 15 thin apple slices
1 ts baking powder
melted butter
1/2 ts salt
cinnamon-sugar mixture
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cream the shortening and sugar
together and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
addition. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
in a mixing bowl, mix lightly. Gradually stir the flour mixture
into the shortening mixture. In this order, add the oats, cheddar
and pecans, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add the
milk, stirring until all the ingredients are just moistened. Grease
the muffin pans and fill each cup 2/3rds full of batter. Dip the
apple slices in the melted butter and then into the cinnamon-sugar.
Press 1 apple slice into the top of each muffin. Sprinkle lightly
with cinnamon-sugar and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven,
or until golden brown.Recipe
