To begin, line a standard muffin pan with papers and set it aside.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Core an apple. I used red delicious, but you could also use a Granny Smith. Once it is cored, shred the apple with a grater.

1

Put the shredded apple into a sieve over a dish to catch the liquid.

2

Add in 8 ounces of crushed pineapple with the liquid.

3

Press the juice out of the fruit. Using the bottom of a small dish works great.

4

Set the fruit aside. Take the juice, and pour it into a small saucepan. Bring the juice to a boil, and let it cook down to 1/4 cup. Then let it cool. You can let it do this while you continue with the recipe. To cool the juice concentrate quickly, pour it into a shallow dish, and set it in your freezer for a few minutes.

7

Then in the same little pan, melt one stick (1/2 cup) of butter.

8

Shred 2 large Carrots. Set aside.

9

In a bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir them all together.

13

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted, cooled butter and 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

14

3 Eggs

15

And the cooled juice concentrate.

16

Mix it all together.

17

Mix in the dry mixture, about half at a time. Mix until just combined.

018

Finely chop up about 1/2 cup of Pecans.

19

Add the pecans, pineapple, apple and carrots to the batter and stir them in.

20

Scoop the batter into the muffin cups.

21

These muffins don’t rise a great deal, so it is okay to fill them right to the top.

Sunrise Muffins

Sunrise Muffins 3

Bake for 22-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow them to cool a little bit, and then enjoy warm or room temperature.
