Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 cups diced apples (Granny Smith recommended)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Baking
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving
- These muffins are best enjoyed warm, optionally with a little butter.
Notes
For a crunchier top, sprinkle some extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking. Don't worry if your muffins sink a little after baking; it adds to their rustic charm. Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze individually for longer storage.
