Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
- ½ cup butter softened at room temperature, salted, 1 stick
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk or sub with regular milk, whole
- 1 medium apple peeled and coarsely grated (about 1 cup total
Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, salted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and spritz with nonstick spray. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Add half of the flour mixture to the bowl; mix on medium-low speed just until combined. Add the buttermilk; mix just until combined. Add the remaining flour mixture; mix just until combined. Fold in the grated apple.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Place the muffins in the preheated oven, then immediately reduce the oven temperature to 375°F. Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack. When the muffins are cool enough to handle (but still warm), prepare the topping.
- Place the melted butter in a small bowl. In a separate small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Brush the top of each warm muffin with the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar.
Notes
- How to Reheat: If the muffins are frozen, allow them to sit on the counter for a few minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F. Frozen muffins will require about 10-12 minutes in the oven; room temperature muffins will only need about 5 minutes to warm through. Alternatively, you can microwave one or two muffins at a time for 15-30 seconds, or just until warm.
- How to Store: Allow the muffins to cool completely. Store in a large Ziploc freezer bag or other airtight container. The muffins will last for 2-3 days at room temperature. Wrapped tightly, these grated apple muffins will keep in the freezer for at least 3 months.
