Following on from my Mystery Ingredient Monday this week which was Granny Smith apples, I really wanted to do both a savoury and a sweet dish but I’ve just been so down with a bad cold. I managed to get a bunch of muffins in the oven last night while I was preparing dinner but didn’t quite get the effect I wanted for these Apple Rose Muffins.

This is an Apple Rose Tart I found on Pinterest and I thought I could recreate the same sort of thing on a cupcake or muffin. I don’t believe I made the ‘roses’ big enough. Or, I could’ve created a more loose rose and topped with a little muffin http://www.thermolife.com/forum/members/flexis/ batter. Maybe I’ll try it again or go for a larger cake or tart as above if I need to make a larger baked item. Individual muffins or cupcakes work better for us now as I can freeze them to last a while because there’s only three of us.
- 2 cups Self Raising flour
- 1/4 cup oil (I used Canola)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 Granny Smith apples, skin peeled
- brown sugar, for sprinkling
2. Add first 6 ingredients, mix lightly and pour into cupcake papers
3. Peel apple flesh without trying to break it (doesn’t matter if you do).

| Next time I would roll a bit looser. |
4. Start to turn apple into a rose shape and place on top of muffin batter.
7. Makes a dozen large sized muffins.
