Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the muffin cups lightly with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the melted, cooled butter, vanilla extract, and milk, and mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the finely chopped apples and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
