For my first recipe post I wanted something simple. Although I have a big list of recipes to be tried, the apple raisin muffin aired in Food TV was the one that kept coming to my mind. I saw it a couple of months earlier in Paula Deen's show.
So this morning I went to Food TV's site and got the recipe. The original recipe yields 5 dozen mini muffins. I did not want to bake so much because it was the first time I was gonna try it. So I scaled down the recipe and it did come out well.

Recipe
Eggless Apple Raisin Muffins
Ingredients
Ingredients-A:
- ¼ Cup Water
- ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
- ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ Cup Raisins
- 1 Cup Apples Grated
- ¼ Cup Butter
- A Pinch Cinnamon
- A Pinch Nutmeg
Ingredients-B:
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tspn Baking Soda
- ¾ Cup Walnuts Chopped
Instructions
- Combine all 'Ingredients-A' in a sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Combine all 'Ingredients-B' in a large bowl. Add the cooled mixture to it and stir until blended.
- Fill them in lined mini muffin tins and bake for 15 minutes at 350F.
My Notes
- The above measurements yielded exactly 2 dozen mini muffins.
- The original recipe called for granulated sugar only, but I added a mixture of both light brown sugar and white sugar because I personally feel that the combination of these 2 results in a better taste.
- I did not add clove powder because I did not have it.
- After combining the wet ingredients with the dry, I felt that it required some more liquid, so I added some milk.
- I also topped the muffins with turbinado sugar before putting them in the oven.
- I baked a dozen first for 15 min and tested with a tooth pick to check if it was done. The tooth pick did not come out clean from some of the muffins so I baked it for another 2 minutes. By the time the first batch came out the remaining batter became a little more firm, so I added some more milk and baked the second dozen for 17 min and the tooth pick came out clean.
- Update: Originally I used ¾th cup of sugar both brown sugar and white sugar combined. But some of my friends told me that it was very sweet. I think I would reduce the quantity of sugar to ½ cup instead of ¾th of a cup the next time I bake it. So I have changed the recipe to ¼ cup of each sugar.

I made these yesterday with cooking apples in fairy cake cases. Straight forward to make and are tasty but I wouldn't' call them muffins. They have a very different texture to muffins, not as soft and much drier, almost like rock cakes. I added quite a bit of extra milk to the batter.
Madhuram says
Risha when I Googled to see what fairy cake cases are and I came to know that it's small size muffins. So I'm not sure if it's the same size as the mini muffins I have baked. The baking time varies according to the size we choose to bake and that also will affect the texture.
Julie OHagan says
Hello, I would prefer to make one dozen regular size muffins with this recipe. Advice?
Madhuram says
You can use the recipe as it is. I'm guessing you will get 12-15 regular size muffins.
Julie OHagan says
I got 12 smallish muffins. Not sure why. I did add more milk to the batter. A very different batter than the muffins i usually make. I was a tad concerned at the look and seeming dryness of the finished muffin. BUT they were amazing. Kinda like scones.
Madhuram says
Hmm..I don't remember being it that dry. Did you get the liquid ingredients right?
Anita Mayekar says
Hi Madhu, what is the measurement of 1 cup (in gm) ? I do have different sizes of measuring cups.
Madhuram says
Kindly check the baking measurement page Anita.

Cheahlc says
Can I not use nutmeg powder as I don't have it. Will it greatly affect the taste
Madhuram says
Probably try a little. I'm not sure how strong the flavor is.

These turned out great! My kids both loved them. I used fresh ground whole wheat flour instead of all purpose and increased the water to 1 and 1/2 cups. Also, increased the cinnamon and nutmeg slightly.
Madhuram says
Thanks Ladyscot4.

They turned out excellent as cookies! Perfect winter treat for those of us in the Southern hemisphere.
I eat eggs but have a coworker who doesn't. We had some extra apples at work & I wanted to use them make something she could also enjoy. I don't have mini muffin pans so made them as cookies. I've added chopped, dried cranberries in the place of raisins. I've also added a pinch of ground ginger, cloves and cardamom.
Madhuram says
Thanks for the comment, Alex. I'm glad that you and your friend liked it.

I picked up some clearance apples at the grocery store this afternoon intending to bake an apple cake with them this evening for desert for supper. I got home from the store then realized that we ate the last of the eggs for breakfast this morning... that is what brought me to your site.
I tried this recipe with a few modifications... I used 1c white flour, and 1c whole wheat. I grated the apples using a microplane and left the skins on (extra fiber)... the microplane likely created a higher volume of apple as all the juices came out filling the gaps between the apple shreds and they were more compact (unlike some of the comments, as well as yourself, I didn't need to add any extra liquid), I used about 1tsp of apple pie spice, added coconut rather than walnuts as I didn't have any nuts in my pantry, and I am tired of raisins from other recipes I've used recently so used dried berries rather than raisins. Oh, and I didn't feel like washing out the muffin tins again (my 19 month old was playing with them this afternoon) so I put it in a greased and floured loaf pan and baked for 40 minutes.
I loved it! DH loved it too! I've printed it out and will be using this recipe again!!
Madhuram says
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback Marianne. I'm very glad that your family enjoyed the muffins. Hope you can rate the recipe when you find time.

What an awesome recipe! I bought a new electric mini muffin maker and these muffins turned out super.
Thanks!
Madhuram says
You're welcome Nitya. Electric muffin maker is something I have never heard before.

I tried this recipe. Batter was too dry, so I added milk and still dry...... Baked it for at least 30-35 mins and toothpick test was passed but when I cut one open, it was moist like inside..... (I had added milk to compensate for the dry mixture). I followed the recipe to the dot...and when I took a bite, it left a bad after taste.
As you can see in the notes, I too added milk to the batter and at the end it did turn out good. Did you cut it open immediately out of the oven? Also the flour and baking soda has to be mixed well. If the baking soda has some lumps in it, it may sometimes affect the taste. Another reason for bitter after taste can be using baking powder instead of baking soda.
