  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar
In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients.  Combine egg, milk, oil and 1/2 cup Apple Butter.  Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.  Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups with a rounded Tablespoon of batter.  Top each with a rounded Tablespoon of remaining Apple Butter and then remaining batter.  Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over muffins.
