Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. If using, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 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. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are great on their own or with a slather of butter!
