Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (200g) peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Fold in diced apples gently.
  6. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar mixture or streusel topping on the batter before baking.
  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best texture and flavor contrast.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze baked muffins for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
