hope you enjoy it as much as my little family has!

To begin:
Preheat you oven to 375 degrees.
have your nonstick cooking spray in reach along with your muffin pan
(you don't want to grease too soon because the grease will settle and leave and unpleasant after taste when baking)
Two large mixing bowls.
Whisk.
Hand mixer, with beaters attached.

What you will need:
1 medium size lemon (juiced)
1 -1/2cups *self rising flour*
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 heaping teaspoon of baking powder
1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg slightly beaten
1/2cup whole milk
1cup super finely chopped granny smith apples (like two good sized apples)

How to prepare:
in one large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients.
including flour, baking powder, cinnamon.
in a seperate bowl beat together sugar and butter until fluffy, add the egg and beat well
then add in the milk and lemon juice.
mix well,
then stir in apples.
pour wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix just until moistened!
DO NOT OVER MIX!!

lightly grease your muffin pan (makes twelve muffins)
pour into muffin cups evenly.

bake for 18-23minutes
remember always start at the lower number and check.. you can always keep adding minutes but you can't go back once its over cooked.
once toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes,
then remove from the pan and move to a cooling rack and ENJOY!
this is yummy warm.
