Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Toss the diced apples into the dry mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated. This helps distribute the apples evenly in the muffins.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the flavors of autumn in every bite!
