Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries, chopped
- 1 medium Apple, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cups Walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries, diced apple, and walnuts until evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
