Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Apples, peeled and diced
• 0.25 cups Rolled oats (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Additional brown sugar (optional, for topping)
• 1 teaspoons Additional ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

If using the optional topping, mix the rolled oats, additional brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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.
