Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)

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 with cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Then whisk in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the muffin batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle a little extra brown sugar or cinnamon on top of each muffin for added sweetness and texture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

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 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
