Apple-Blueberry Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 c. sifted flour
3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 Tbsp. shortening
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 c. milk
1/2 c. applesauce
1 c. blueberries

Preparation

Sift together all dry ingredients.
Cream shortening and sugar; beat in egg.
Add milk alternately with flour mixture. Stir in applesauce.
Mix the blueberries with some of the flour. I use fresh blueberries that I freeze.
I mix them in frozen so the dough does not turn blue, then lightly mix in with the other ingredients.
Fill muffin tins 1/2 full.
Bake at 400\u00b0 for about 20 minutes.
Makes about a dozen or more.
