These Muffins Apple is one of my favorites. You know that there are some spices that I love to use in baking as the Sichuan pepper, the pink and the cardamom. They are Oriental spices with much aroma and which give a very special touch to pastry.

This recipe for apple muffins today includes a delicious touch cardamom. Also carries a bit of cinnamon, but I recognize that cinnamon tire me much and I don't like to abuse her, so in these Apple Muffins, I think ideal to replace the cinnamon of the streusel or crispy, and mash of apples by cardamom powder.

It is not too easy to find it ground, so I podeiis use it in pods and grind them at home with a mortar. It is the green cardamom, and not brown or black. They are very different and the outcome varies completely so that you do not confuse you. These Apple Muffins will become your favorite fancy try them?
