Apple-Pecan Muffins

I found this recipe in the food section of my Sunday paper, though I'm not sure when. I finally made them, and they were quite good.

Apple-Pecan Muffins

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 T melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 medium tart apple (peeled and cored)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Directions:
  1. In large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  2. In medium bowl, beat egg with milk and melted butter.
  3. Shred the apple directly into egg mixture; stir to blend. Combine egg mixture with flour mixture, stirring just until flour is moistened. Do not overmix.
  4. Lightly grease a muffin pan with 12 (2-1/2 inch) cups or use paper muffin cups. Spoon batter into muffin pan. Sprinkle top of each muffin with 1 tsp. chopped pecans
  5. Bake in preheated 400 ° oven until well browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
