US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 egg whites
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter - room temperature (Alternatively you can use sunflower oil)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • juice of half of lemon
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 - 3 apples, or plums - thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 °F
    1. With an electrical mixer beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Keep cool in the refrigerator.
    2. Peel, quarter and slice the apples.
    3. In a bowl add egg yolks and sugar. Cream with an electric mixer about 3 to 4 minutes, then add the softened butter. Mix until mixture becomes light and fluffy, about another 3 minutes.
    4. Add flour and baking powder. Lightly stir, then add the juice of half of a lemon. (You may use more if lemon is small) With the electric mixer on, slowly drizzle the milk to the batter, and mix until everything is combined. Go from a Stir mode to high speed, quickly. Don't overmix!
    5. Take out the stiffened egg whites from the refrigerator, and carefully fold it under the batter.
    6. Prepare either a standart 12 piece, or I like to use the 6 piece jumbo sized muffin tin with cupcake liners. Carefully spoon the muffin batter into the liners. Place the sliced apples, or plums on top of the batter. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon/sugar if you like.
    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until when a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Enjoy!
