Apple Muffins - General Cooking Principles
Muffins are baked in small molds, which can be made of both silicone and metal. Often, for such baking, specially made factory-made paper forms are used. Before distributing the dough into molds, vegetable oil is applied in a thin layer on their walls and bottom; silicone containers do not require such preparation.
Dough for muffins with apples is kneaded with milk or fermented milk products such as sour cream, kefir and even cottage cheese. It is always loosened with a factory ripper. The peculiarity of preparing dough for muffins is that it cannot be stirred for a long time, and even more so whipped. Baked products should be with large pores, and long kneading and whipping makes the structure finely porous.
Apples can be added in crushed form both to the dough itself and to the filling. For chopping fruit, you may need a grater with large or small cells.
Together with apples, you can put crushed nuts, carrots, dried fruits.
Apple muffins are not necessarily rich pastries, they can be dietary if you use instead of flour oat flakes or just add it to a small amount for bundle fat-free cottage cheese.

- Many muffin recipes are based on the fact that it is allowed to prepare the dough in advance on the only condition: the semi-finished product must be in the refrigerator or in a cool room and go to the oven in the morning;
- In no case should you increase the duration of the kneading. Otherwise, instead of small fluffy buns, from oven flat "hockey pucks" will come out;
- There are many recipes, but which one you haven’t decided on yet? Know that the less granulated sugar is indicated in the recipe, the more the product will resemble ordinary buns. And an excess of a sweet ingredient will bring pastries closer to the cake;

In the process of kneading, the formation of lumps is possible, if they are small in size, then their presence is quite acceptable;
- Let's talk about density. The consistency of the semi-finished flour product should be such that at the end the spoon used for kneading stands exactly in it. If necessary, add a few tablespoons of sifted flour;
- Additives in the form of nuts, candied fruits and dried fruits are added at the very end;
- Oil lubricates not only the recess, but the entire form. Such a trick will help to quickly release the product;
- Confectioners claim that the most tasty part a muffin with apples is considered the top, so do not spare the dough and fill out the form in ¾ parts;
- To prevent burning, the form must be placed on a baking sheet;
- The baking process is important. For uniform distribution of hot air, the wind sheet is installed exactly in the center;
- When ready, the products should remain in shape for at least another 10 minutes;
- Of course, there is nothing tastier than freshly baked bread. However, if the products remain (which is unlikely), then they can be frozen until the next use. Muffins are laid out in a plastic container and sent to the freezer. Shelf life 2 months.
