Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh raspberries
• 1 unit Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Carefully fold in the raspberries and chopped apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for a crunchy finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to 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 freeze for longer storage.
