Turn the oven on to 200C and lash some butter round the inside of a muffin tray. Not too much - that stuff's expensive. 200C is pretty hot so you'd better open a stubbie of Tui or Monteiths and keep it within arms reach.

Beat the egg and oil together until it gets to the stage your wife would describe as ‘light and fluffy'. Pour in the sugar and milk and keep on beating. And don't be lazy - use a whisk.

Chuck the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a sieve over the bowl. Shake it in and then turn through the egg/oil combo. Add the apple and sultanas and mix it - but not too long. Just enough so that it's evenly through the dough. Spoon the mixture into the muffin tray

Plonk it into the oven, grab your beer, kick your feet up and watch some footy for about 20 - 25 minutes. The actual cooking time will depend on your oven so make sure you keep checking after the 20 minute mark by stabbing a knife right through the guts of a muffin. If the knife comes out dry, you're good to go.

Makes 6 man muffins or 12 little girly muffins.

Top Tips:

I've put more cinnamon and more fruit than the original recipe called for - flavour is better and reduces the risk of dryness from over cooking.

Don't pile up the baking powder. 4 flattish t-spoons is fine otherwise the finished product will taste bitter.
