An Apple Harvest & Apple Oat Muffins

Apple picking is something that I look forward to each year for both the tradition and the beautiful scenery of the Hudson Valley.  The landscape is a welcome reprieve from the city with its gentle rolling hills and billowy white clouds.  As the season is beginning to settle in, I look forward to reintroducing certain ingredients that make fall, well fall.  I begin warming up my baking routine with spices like cinnamon, ginger and freshly grated nutmeg, nothing is quite like a home that is fragranced with this aroma. After picking an extremely large bag of apples, I decided to make Apple Oat Muffins to welcome a recent weekend.  These muffins are lighter than traditional muffins because they do not require any butter, just buttermilk to give them a lot of moisture, while the oatmeal gives them a wonderful texture.  Continue for more...

  7. I made this recipe and the first batch ended up tasting a little salty. I added about a third cup of sugar to the second and it improved, although the muffins were stuck to the paper too! It worked better when I skipped the muffin papers and used Pam and the tiny very good and earthy tasting though overall. I like the fact that the recipe doesn't use butter and very little to no sugar!
