Having made a less-than-pleasant discovery about something I made, I decided to try a new type of post here at the ol' blog-front. Consider it an apology to all my friends and coworkers who ate the leftovers from Friday's blog...or consider it a lesson learned for future attempts. I'm sure this will happen again, and in my efforts to be honest with the 5 people who actually read this blog, I'm owning up.
These muffins were good on Friday, I promise. And Saturday, too. Sunday we didn't eat any, because we got breakfast from our local bakery. This morning they looked fine, but I didn't eat one, having reverted to my usual healthy breakfast. I brought a few into the office and offered them to my coworkers, as I often do.
And now I feel bad. I just ate the last one, giving in to the need for a snack. And...it wasn't very good. Somehow in the two days since Saturday, they got downright mushy. Not moist--but unpleasantly mushy. They lost their fluffy muffiny texture. And the apples had a sort of weird bitter taste. They weren't terrible, but they certainly weren't yummy like they were two days ago.
So...my apologies. And if you make this recipe (and I hope you still will)? Try to eat them all in 48 hours. Or maybe make half a recipe.
And now I will go hang my head in baking shame... It's terribly vain, but I pride myself on my kitchen skills and get very upset when something comes out poorly. (Which is why I didn't make pie crust for such a long time, because that is hard.)
