Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 ½ cups peeled and diced apples

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to ensure they are evenly combined and aerated.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until everything is combined; don’t overmix to keep the muffins soft and tender. Then fold in the peeled and diced apples carefully.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can substitute half the milk with buttermilk.
  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • You can add chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor if desired.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
