Aimer faire plaisir à ceux qu'on aime

Ingredients

• 500 ml (2 cups) whole wheat or all-purpose flour
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) cornmeal
• 15 ml (1 tbsp.) cinnamon
• 15 ml (1 tbsp.) baking powder
• 2 ml (1/2 tsp.) salt
• 15 ml (1 tbsp.) lemon zest
• 375 ml (1 1/2 cup) apples, grated
• 375 ml (1 1/2 cup) Le Gré des Champs, grated
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) melted butter
• 150 ml (2/3 cup) brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 250 ml (1 cup) milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and flour muffin tin cups.

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients, apples and Le Gré des Champs. Beat butter together with brown sugar, eggs and milk. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix just enough to moisten. Spoon the batter to fill the large muffin tin cups about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the tops with pecan crunch (see recipe below). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden.

Let stand for 5 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Serve warm or cold.
