Ingredients

Directions

  1. PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Coat insides of 12-hole muffin pan with cooking spray or line with muffin cups.
  2. WHISK together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir in grated cheddar.
  3. WHISK together cranberry juice, vegetable oil and egg, in another bowl. Add juice mixture to dry ingredients along with apples and cranberries; stir just until dry ingredients are incorporated, but batter is still lumpy.
  4. FILL muffin cups about two-thirds full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until nicely browned on top and skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand for about 1 minute before removing from pan.
