Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 1/4-inch pieces)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, 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 with non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold the diced apples into the batter gently until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for a crunchy topping.

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 muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
