What you need to make Easy Apple Cinnamon Muffins:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
⅓ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup milk
2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
How to make it:
Preheat: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, oil, and milk.
Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in chopped apples.
Bake: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
For extra flavor: Enhance the apple cinnamon taste by toasting the ground cinnamon in a dry skillet before adding it to the dry ingredients. This releases the essential oils and creates a deeper flavor profile.
Prevent soggy muffins: Let the chopped apples drain on a paper towel before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent excess moisture and ensure your muffins have a tender crumb.
Customise your muffins: Add a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans to the top of the batter before baking for a crunchy texture. You can also drizzle the cooled muffins with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for an extra touch of sweetness.
