Apple Muffins

½ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp cloves or allspice
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 apple (pre cooked and diced)

1. In a medium mixing bowl cream butter, and both sugars. Add eggs, and spices.
2. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Save a couple teaspoons of this mixture to dredge the fruit in. This keeps the apples from settling to the bottom.
3. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Then add the sour cream. Blend until moist. Next fold in the apples.
4. Fill muffin cups ¾ full, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 min.

Note: To pre cook the apples I dice them up and put them on a sheet of aluminum foil. Then I place them in the oven to cook while I am mixing up the batter.
