Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 (28 ounce) jar prepared mincemeat
• 1 tablespoon apple cider, or as needed
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.33333334326744 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners, and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and white sugar, mixing until thoroughly blended.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 cup of apple cider, and vegetable oil. Stir in the apple and mincemeat. Pour the mincemeat mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until just combined.

Step 4

Fill the lined muffin cups 3/4 full, and bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are risen and browned, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Make a glaze by stirring together the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and about 1 tablespoon of apple cider, or a little more as needed to make the glaze workable. Spread the glaze on the warm muffins.
