Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and finely grated)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the tin well.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. Into one half of the batter, stir in the grated apple. Leave the other half plain.

Step 6

To assemble the striped muffins, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple batter into the bottom of each muffin liner. Then, layer 1 tablespoon of the plain batter on top of the apple batter. Repeat the layering, alternating between the two batters, until the liners are about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Using a toothpick, gently swirl the batters together at the top for a marbled effect if desired (optional).

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
