Annie Bell writes for You Magazine which is part of the Sunday Mail. The first thing I do is to go to the back of the magazine and look for her recipes, the food styling is always wonderful too. I have always liked Annie Bell, her recipes work, they are always straightforward and her books never disappoint. I was really pleased to find out that she has a new book coming out this month - Annie Bell's Baking Bible.
Raisins are mixed into the muffin batter and the apples used are Cox's. I gave the recipe my own twist by using Cawston Press Still Apple and Ginger Juice instead of the apple juice suggested in the original recipe, the apple and ginger came through perfectly. A sprinkle of demerara sugar gives a crunchy topping. I find Lakeland muffin cases stay white after cooking, whereas some makes look greasy after a batch of muffins have been made.
I hope you will have a go at making these delicious muffins and any that are left over should freeze perfectly. To warm through, simply pop into the microwave.
