Vegan Apple-Bottomed Gingerbread Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

GINGERBREAD BATTER
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 Ener-G Egg Substitute
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
1/3 cup molasses
1/2 cup hot water
APPLE BOTTOMS
2 large apples
1 tablespoon margarine, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
TO MAKE APPLE BOTTOMS: Peel, core, and slice apples into 1-inch chunks.
Mix apple chunks, tablespoon melted margarine, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl until apples are lightly coated.
Place a spoonful of apple mixture in the bottoms of a lightly greased muffin pan and set aside.
TO MAKE GINGERBREAD BATTER: Combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and spices.
Mix egg replacer, melted margarine, molasses, and hot water in a separate bowl, then add this mixture to the dry mixture.
Stir just until thoroughly combined and spoon batter over apples.
Bake for 25 minutes. I recommend eating these with a fork as the apples don't always stay together, but I promise they're delicious!
