Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined; do not overmix.
Carefully fold in the raspberries and chopped apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for a crunchy finish.
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 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.
