Sour Cream Apple Muffins

It is almost apple picking season in Georgia.  Every year we try to take a trip to Ellijay, the apple capitol of Georgia, to pick up a bunch of the sweet treats.  We stop at one of the apple stores in the area and browse through their collections of local produce and goodies, like apple butter, apple relish, apple salsa and more. The kids each choose one treat for us to try and we bring them all home, along with our baskets of apples. We try to make several new recipes each year with our bounty. This year I have been browsing for apple recipes and came across a Blueberry Sour Cream muffin recipe from Taste of Home magazine. I adapted it to feature apples and it is delicious.  The recipe made eighteen muffins and I watched as they disappeared quickly.  These are great the night before and heat up for a few minutes in the microwave the next morning or to freeze and reheat for later. You can also change the preserves to any flavor you like or add fresh or frozen fruit.

A super simple muffin recipe with only five ingredients. You can use different preserves or substitute fresh or frozen fruit of your choice.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Baking mix (like bisquick)
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
  • 1 jar (8 ounces) apple preserves
Instructions
  1. n a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix and 3/4 cup sugar. In a small bowl, combine eggs and sour cream; stir into the dry ingredients just until combined. Stir in apple preserves. Note: If you want extreme apple filling, use a 16 ounce jar of preserves. Fill greased muffin cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
