While everyone's focus is on Christmas dinner, it's always nice to have something special for Christmas morning as well - nothing that takes too much time, mind you, but something that looks and tastes great. A muffin pleases the little and big folks who can nibble as they participate in the splendid chaos of opening stockings.

Ingredients
Method
In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, baking soda and salt.
In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt and butter; pour over dry ingredients. Sprinkle with apricots and orange rind; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Scoop into greased or paper cup-lined muffin cups, filling to top. (make-ahead: Cover lightly and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.)
Bake in centre of 375°F (190°C) oven for about 20 minutes or until golden and tops are firm to the touch. Let stand in pan on rack for 5 minutes before serving warm.
