Apples and cheese always provide a nice flavor when paired together and this muffin recipe is no
exception - a great blend of sweet and savory.
Directions
MUFFIN MIXTURE
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spray each muffin compartment with cooking spray.
Using a large bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup
of butter and mix until the ingredients are combined together forming small, coarse crumbs and
pieces.
Add cheese to flour mixture and toss together.
Using a small bowl, whisk egg and milk together. Pour into and mix with dry ingredients in
large bowl, stirring together until just blended.
Pour muffin mixture into muffin tin, filling each compartment or cup two-thirds full.
Peel apple or pear. Cut fruit lengthwise and then cut into half-round slices.
Insert and evenly space 3 slices into each muffin, pushing the slice into the muffin mixture
until only a small amount of the fruit slice is showing.
Bake for 15 minutes. Begin to prepare glaze while muffins are baking.
GLAZE
Using a small saucepan, mix 1/3 cup of sugar with ground cinnamon and water. Add 2 tablespoons
of melted butter and lemon juice. Heat mixture until boiling, stirring while heating.
Remove from heat and let glaze mixture begin to cool.
Before glaze fully cools and while still warm, remove muffins from oven if they have completed
