Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. If using, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Step 7
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are great on their own or with a slather of butter!
