What to do with apples and pears that are starting to go bad? Why not make muffins! A few days ago I had two left apples and two pears and as I was about to make a compote with it, I changed my mind at the last moment and made these really moist Apple, Pear and Almond Muffins. Everyone loved it!

Step 1: Apples and Pears
Peel the apples and pears. Remove the seeds, then cut them into small pieces.
Then place 10 g of butter, 5 g of sugar and 1 pinch of cinnamon in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat. Add the apples and pears. Cook for 5 minutes. Leave aside.
Step 2: The muffin batter
In a bowl, add the eggs and pour the sugar. Beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes almost white. Then add the rest of the melted butter. Mix again.
Then add the flour, baking powder and ground almonds. Mix. Finally, add the crushed almonds as well as the cooked apples and pears. Mix one last time.
Step 3: Baking
Pour the batter into a muffin pan. You can place a muffin paper in the bottom of the cup so the muffins don’t stick.
For the decoration, mix 5 g of sugar with a teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on the muffins before baking them.
Then bake the muffins for about 18 to 20 minutes in the oven at 175 ° C (regular oven).
