Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other

  • 1 ½ cups peeled and diced apples

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together just until combined; avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Apples: Fold in the peeled and diced apples evenly into the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Do not over-mix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • For extra cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
