Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened apple sauce
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated fresh apple (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, apple sauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated fresh apple and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 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.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Double Apple Muffins!
