Ingredients

Scale

For the Muffins

  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and diced)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)

For the Glaze

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks. Toss them with cinnamon and a sprinkle of sugar to evenly coat and enhance their flavor.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter to create a smooth liquid mixture.
  4. Mix the Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the cinnamon-spiced diced apples carefully to distribute evenly without overmixing.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Glaze the Muffins: Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk to make a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins and let it set before serving.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
  • If you prefer, add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • The glaze can be adjusted to your preferred consistency by adding more or less milk.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk, and use dairy-free butter.
