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

Fruit

  • 1 ½ cups peeled and diced apples

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spice.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the melted butter, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Form the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Then, fold in the peeled and diced apples carefully to distribute throughout the batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 lined muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a tangier flavor or sweeter apples like Fuji depending on your preference.
  • For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Add chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture and taste.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins soft and tender.
  • These muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
