I never would have thought to use cinnamon chips with apricots but the combination is perfect. The apricot makes the muffins moist and balances out the sweetness of the cinnamon chips. In other things I have made with the chips, my family thought they were too sweet, but we love these!brighteyedbakerhttp://confessionsofabrighteyedbaker.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-62116745717486646312011-05-03T17:17:34.610-04:002011-05-03T17:17:34.610-04:00I wish stone fruit had hit us in Austria!

It's one of my favorite things about the hotter months!<br />Thanks very much,<br />Jane<br /><br />Hello Nirmala,<br />Glad you think so! Wouldn't that be nice if we COULD reach into the screen? Maybe a couple of decades from now that will be possible? ;)<br />Warmly,<br />Jane<br /><br />Greetings Marie,<br />Isn't that a cute muffin tin? I found it a TJ Maxx, a store that sells all kinds of miscellaneous stuff at a big discount (I don't suppose TJ Maxx has invaded England yet?) I'd seen them for sale for far more than it cost, so I couldn't resist buying it. This muffin post was the first time I tried it out and I'm glad it performed well! :)<br />So good to hear from you again,<br />Jane :)<br /><br />Hi Chele,<br />Isn't that interesting, about the tender little apricots? Who knew?? Not me, until I read about them recently. It explains their scarcity in fresh form though, at least in this part of the country. <br />Warmly,<br />:) Jane<br /><br />Dear Faithy,<br />You always have such nice things to say. I just love your comments.<br />Thank you so much!<br />:) Jane<br /><br />Hi Katrina,<br />I do think that the apricot-cinnamon combo worked out well. And those cinnamon chips, which I'd never really used before (just tasted!), were a hit. <br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />Jane :)<br /><br />Hey there Stella,<br />Yes, me too--I've rarely had a really perfectly ripe, sweet, fresh apricot. That square muffin tin is a nice one, isn't it? It's extremely heavy and sturdy too. I got it for about five bucks! As you can imagine, as soon as I saw the price tag I snatched it right up (TJ Maxx). I'm not usually crazy about "non-stick" bakeware; the coating sometimes flakes off and that freaks me out, but this seems like a high quality pan, luckily. <br />Thanks so much! Keep on bakin', lady!<br />:) Jane<br /><br />Hi Jennifurla,<br />Thanks very much--I love it (the pan) too! Glad I found one I could afford!<br />;) Jane<br /><br />Hello there Helen,<br />Yeah, the melted butter & sugar combo can be a deadly one as a topping. Too much of a good thing! <br />:) Thanks very much,<br />Jane<br /><br />Hi Hanaa,<br />Before I made these, when I was paging through Flo Braker's book (which I do now own a copy of--yay!), I kept thinking to myself, "Hmm, I wonder if Hanaa's made that one yet . . . " As for those fortunate apricots that get to sleep-in, so to speak, I wish I lived someplace where I could pick them right off the tree. Wouldn't that be nice? A truly sweet apricot, fresh as can be?<br />Warmly,<br />Jane :) <br />P.S. Hanaa, I'm going to email you back re your "Join ABC?" question soon!<br /><br />Hi there Mags,<br />You are always a cheery, encouraging voice--many thanks. I need to visit your blog today and see what kind of kitchen-mischief you're up to! <br />:) Jane<br /><br />Dear Lisa--<br />I am surprised, flattered. and honored by the Happy 101 award! I will make a note to visit your blog and read about the specifics. Thank you so very much!<br />Best,<br />Jane :)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530631702237541328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-83678740662015195372010-06-21T22:36:15.386-04:002010-06-21T22:36:15.386-04:00oh my, these are adorable! genius - sqaure muffins...oh my, these are adorable! genius - sqaure muffins! ive never seen cinnamon chips before, but they sound really good. oh, by the way, i have nominated your blog for the happy 101 award =). you can check out the details on the latest post on my blog.Lisahttp://lisa-is-hungry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-47474506126597066912010-06-21T16:46:55.985-04:002010-06-21T16:46:55.985-04:00I love this recipe....and I really, really love th...I love this recipe....and I really, really love the square shape of those muffins.Mags @ the Other Side of 50https://www.blogger.com/profile/12341721285034778331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-26955208664477829762010-06-21T14:31:30.690-04:002010-06-21T14:31:30.690-04:00I loved your write-up, especially the part where y...I loved your write-up, especially the part where you compare our lives (when rested and all) to that of a perfectly ripe peach. I have no doubt these muffins turned out awesome because I made Flo's Blueberry variety and LOVED them. I skipped the butter/sugar process at the end because they were good as-is. Btw, love your square muffins.
