Ingredients

Apple Cinnamon Muffins
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cups milk
  • 1 large apple, peeled & chopped, about 1½ cups chopped
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin pan with papers. 
  2. In a large bowl beat the butter, white sugar & brown sugar until fluffy. 
  3. Mix in the eggs 1 at a time, then the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda & salt.
  5. With the mixer on low speed beat about ⅓ of the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with about ⅓ of the milk. Repeat the process until everything is combined.
  6. In a separate bowl toss the chopped apple with ½ teaspoon cinnamon. 
  7. Gently fold the chopped apple into the muffin batter using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan - you'll get about 12 muffins total. 
Topping
  1. In a small bowl stir the sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar topping together. Then sprinkle it on top of each muffin.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 

Notes

  • *Muffins are best if eaten the same day they're made. 
  • STORE. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container on the counter for about 4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • FREEZE. Let them cool completely and place them in a freezer Ziploc. Use a straw to suck out as much air as possible before sealing and freezing for up to 3 months.
