Apple Sour Cream Muffin Ingredients
Apples – of course, they are the star of this show. This recipe works with many types of apples. I like to use Granny Smith apples or Gala apples for this recipe. But I encourage you to try with a different kind of apples.
Butter – Probably my favorite ingredient of all time.- LOL! But seriously, I always use real butter in my recipes, although I try to keep it to a minimum. Margarine will also work in this recipe just fine.
Sour cream - The sour cream makes these muffins moist and soft.
Variations on this recipe.
Nuts - You can easily add ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to this recipe.
Equipement
