Apple Carrot Muffins

Preparation

r evenly among prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
4 ADULTS:Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes. When a toothpick comes out clean from 1 or 2 of the muffins in the center of the pan, remove them from the oven. Cool the muffins for at least 1 hour before frosting them with Classic Cream Cheese Frosting (page 118) or serve them plain.
5 KID TIP: -Leave the carrot grating to the bigger kids (age 8 and up) since it can be tricky for the small kids.
6 COOKING TIPS: -Gala or McIntosh apples are good for baking. -If you’re preparing these for a large gathering, I recommend making mini-muffins so that you can serve more people. Remember to reduce the baking time to 15-18 minutes, since they bake faster than the regular-sized ones.
