Apple Cinnamon Cakelets #appleweek

I ended up adapting the recipe included on my  Apple Slice Cakelet Pan a bit to make some apple muffins to take to work with me as a little treat for my co-workers!

I’m always a little worried when I use a pan I can’t line with parchment, but the non-stick feature on the cakelet pan is no joke!  When sprayed with cooking spray, I had absolutely no sticking and the design imprinted perfectly!

These little cakelets are the perfect addition to a fall brunch!  How perfect would these be on a Thanksgiving brunch buffet??

Apple Cinnamon Cakelets

Adapted from Nordicware

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Dash of salt

½ cup brown sugar

5 tablespoons butter, melted

1 egg

½ cup applesauce

½ cup buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Spray apple cakelet pan liberally with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.

In a sperate bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar.  Add the egg, applesauce, and buttermilk and whisk until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently mix until combined.

Divide the batter into the cakelet wells, filling them each about ¾ full (bake any additional batter in a muffin tin).  Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack in the pans for 10 minutes, then flip to unmold.
