Now that I live in Florida, making these tasty muffins takes me back to my days in the Northeast, where cranberries and apples are in abundance.

Ingredients

FILLING:
1-1/2 cups finely chopped peeled apples
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
MUFFINS:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cranberries
3 tablespoons vanilla extract

Directions

For filling, combine apples, sugar and cinnamon; set aside. For muffins, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine eggs, oil, cranberry juice, cranberries and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups one-third full. Spoon 1 tablespoon filling on top. Fill muffins cups two-thirds full with remaining batter. Bake at 350° for 35-30 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

Editor's Note: 3 tablespoons of vanilla is correct.
