Recipe - Gahb Healthy Apple-Walnut Muffins

2 cup Allpurpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
One fourth teaspoon Ground cinnamon
One fourth teaspoon Ground ginger
One fourth teaspoon Ground allspice
One fourth teaspoon Ground nutmeg
One fourth teaspoon Salt; One fourth rounded teaspoon
2 lg Eggs
1 cup Plus 2 T. frozen; apple
juice concentrate, thawed
2/3 cup Buttermilk
2 tablespoon Oat bran
2 small Granny Smith apple; peel,
core and chop
1/3 cup Chopped walnuts; about 1 1/3
oz
1 small Granny Smith apples; peeled,
cored, cut in 12 thin
slices

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 12 standard size muffinpan cups or
line with paper liners. Mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger,
allspice, nutmeg, and salt. Mix together eggs, apple juice, and buttermilk.
Stir flour mixture and oat bran into egg mixture until dry ingredients are
just moistened. Do not overmix. Gently stir in chopped apples and nuts.
Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling cups twothirds full. Garnish each
muffin by placing an apple slice on top. Bake muffins until lightly golden
and tops spring back when pressed, 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack
to cool slightly. Turn muffins out onto rack to cool completely.

Baking Tips: Instead of frozen apple juice concentrate, use other bottled
fruit juice concentrates. Health food stores generally carry the best
variety. Experiment with such interesting flavors as papaya, pineapple, and
mango for a tropical taste.
