Here's one that my mom found in the local paper that was really good. It's quite quick and easy.
Apple-Ginger Muffins
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup finely chopped candied ginger
- 1 small apple, peeled, cored and minced
In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Beat together egg yolk and milk. Pour into batter and stir briefly to moisten. Quickly stir in ginger and apple. Spoon batter into greased muffin tin, filling 6 to 7 muffin cups 3/4 full.
Bake in preheated 375 degree oven 20 minutes or until muffins are golden and leave no trace of batter when a toothpick is inserted in center. Remove muffins from tin and cool on wire rack. Makes 6 to 7 muffins.
