Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups apple, peeled, cored, and diced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
