Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 cup Apples, peeled and finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until creamy and pale using an electric mixer on medium speed, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

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

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy these muffins warm or at room temperature as a delightful gluten-free treat.
