Preparation

Dry Mix
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the flours (sorghum and roasted gram flour), salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Set aside
Apple Mix
- In another bowl, using a food processor/ grater, grate the apples with skin. Add brown sugar to the grated apples and mix well.
Wet Mixture
- In another bowl, crack the eggs, add in vanilla extract, and whisk well. Add in white sugar and whisk until well combined. Blend in the cream cheese into the mix.
The Batter
- Add the flour mixture into the wet mix in three batches. Make sure the flour is incorporated well before adding in the next batch. To this mix, add in the apple mixture. Make sure the apple mix is incorporated well into the batter.
Topping
- Mix 2 tablespoons of white granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Baking
- Spoon the batter into the liners taking care to fill 3/4th of the height. Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top of each of the muffins.
- Bake the muffins for about 20-25 minutes or until their tops are golden brown. Insert a skewer/ toothpick to check if they are done. Turn off the oven and let the muffins stand in the oven for about 3 minutes, then place them on a wire rack to cool.
