Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups apple, peeled and diced (about 1 medium apple)
- 0.5 cups dried cherries
- 0.5 cups dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced apple, dried cherries, and dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5–10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Cherry Cranberry Apple Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
