Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Then whisk in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the muffin batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Optional: Sprinkle a little extra brown sugar or cinnamon on top of each muffin for added sweetness and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 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. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
