Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups apples chopped
  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 0.75 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.67 cups milk
  • 0.5 cups oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Topping

  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with muffin cups.
  • Prepare the chopped apples, keeping them consistent in size. Mix the cinnamon and sugar for the topping and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold the chopped apples into the batter.
  • Add the batter to the muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then bake for 22 - 25 minutes until golden and set. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or cool and enjoy!

Notes

Double-check amounts when using the multiplying feature in the recipe card. If looking for gram measurements, toggle to the “metric” version in the recipe card. Chop apples into small, even pieces for even dispersion and to prevent sinking. Mix only until combined to maintain fluffiness. Consider making a double batch and freezing extras for later.
