Instructions
Apple sauce
- Peel, core and slice up the apples. Peeling isn't a must, no one will ever notice. Pour water into a pot then add the apples, lemon peel, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt.
- Place a lid on, bring it to boil. Reduce heat and cook apples until soft, for about 30 minutes. Remove the lemon peel then puree the apples with an immersion blender.
Applesauce Muffin
- Melt butter or simply use vegetable oil. Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the apple sauce and vanilla extract. Beat in salt, cinnamon and any optional ingredients like ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Allspice is highly recommended as it gives the cake a completely different character.
- Beat the flour in batches and finally the baking soda. It’s important to add baking soda at the end, without delay pour the batter into a baking form then place it into the preheated oven, otherwise the cake won’t raise.
- Pour the batter into our favorite muffin forms. Be quick about it otherwise our muffins won't raise at all.
- Place the muffins into the middle rack of a 360°F / 180°C preheated oven until golden brown spots start to appear on top, for about 30 minutes.
Frosting
- Whisk cream cheese until creamy. Add Greek yogurt, vanilla extract and sweetener of choice.
Assembly
- Possibly with a pastry bag or a similar fancy equipment that is capable of making gorgeous lines from cream, place some cream on top of the muffins. Decorate with bright colored edible stuff, like finely cut apple peel or for the more sophisticated ones berries, cherries or drizzle on some grated chocolate.
Notes
Enjoy!
