Holiday Mincemeat Muffins

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.75 cups white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup apple cider
• 0.33 cups vegetable oil
• 1 apple , peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 jar prepared mincemeat , 28 ounce
• 0.75 cups confectioners' sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon apple cider , or as needed

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners, and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and white sugar, mixing until thoroughly blended.

3. 3

   In another bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 cup of apple cider, and vegetable oil. Stir in the apple and mincemeat. Pour the mincemeat mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until just combined.

4. 4

   Fill the lined muffin cups 3/4 full, and bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are risen and browned, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Make a glaze by stirring together the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and about 1 tablespoon of apple cider, or a little more as needed to make the glaze workable. Spread the glaze on the warm muffins.
