Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 1/2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (about 1 medium apple)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Create Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix to ensure tender muffins.
  5. Fold in Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them down.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full for proper rising.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

  • Use crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a moister muffin, try adding a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to the wet ingredients.
  • Feel free to sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a sweet crunch.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
