Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 Eggs, large
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup (for drizzle)
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (for drizzle)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and whole milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Fold the finely chopped apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the muffins cool, prepare the maple drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth and slightly thickened.
Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled muffins using a spoon or a small piping bag.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top of each muffin for a decorative and flavorful garnish.
Serve and enjoy your Maple Drizzled Apple Muffins with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
