Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1.5 cups apples (peeled, cored, and chopped into small chunks)
• 2 tablespoons optional: turbinado sugar or cinnamon sugar for topping

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until thoroughly beaten. Then add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk, whisking to combine.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped apples gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Evenly scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar or cinnamon sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to 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. Enjoy Mimi’s Apple Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
