My children are off track and on these cold fall days it can be challenging to figure out ways to keep them busy, and me from pulling my hair out. My boys find joy in wrestling and throwing the football all over the house, but my girls’ favorite activity is to be in the kitchen with me cooking. They had so much fun making these Apple Strudel Muffins. They were thrilled to be able to cook something all by themselves.
I figured this recipe was the perfect one to share with you this month while apples are on sale and to help you incorporate your powdered eggs and milk into your baking. These muffins were moist, soft and had a delicious cake-like texture. Give them a try, and you will love how easy it is to use powdered eggs and milk in your recipes (it’s so easy even 10 year olds can do it!) Enjoy!
