Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium fresh apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top before baking for extra sweetness.
Add a streusel topping for crunch and flavor.
Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier muffin.
Mix in nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for variety.
Best eaten warm, but also freezes well for later.
