Description
A straightforward recipe for moist apple muffins using fresh apples.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped peeled apples (about 1 medium apple)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a slightly crisp top, sprinkle a small amount of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
- You can substitute applesauce for the vegetable oil for a lower-fat version, reducing the oil amount to 2 tablespoons.
