🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 1/4-inch pieces)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

5. Fold the diced apples into the batter gently until evenly distributed.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

7. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for a crunchy topping.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

10. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
