Feel free to add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to these tasty muffins, or bake with a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar on their tops.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 fresh apricots, peeled, pitted, and diced, about 1 cup
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • dash ground nutmeg
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg

PREPARATION:

Toss chopped apricots and blueberries with lemon juice. Set aside. Grease and flour 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.

In another bowl, whisk together butter, milk, and egg. Stir milk mixture into the dry ingredients and blend just until moistened. Fold in the fruit mixture. Spoon batter into muffin cups.
