Apple Cider Muffins
1 cup apple cider
3 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of salt
FOR THE GLAZE AND CINNAMON SUGAR COATING:
Remaining reduced cider/butter mixture
1 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 400°.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the apple cider to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally. Let it simmer, stirring every minute or so, for about 10 minutes, or until it is reduced by half.
Stir in the butter until it melts and blends smoothly. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes so that it is a syrupy consistency.
In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the reduced cider/butter mixture with the sugar, egg, sour cream, and vanilla. Whisk everything together until well mixed.
Add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gently stir until just combined.
Fill six muffin cups with the batter and bake at 400° for 15 to 20 minutes. Watch carefully not to over bake. The muffins are done when they are firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. After the muffins have baked and are cool enough to touch, roll in the butter and cider mixture and then roll into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
