Instructions
Donut muffins:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/180°C. Brush the muffin tin holes with oil (or spray them with baking spray).
- Apples: Peel, core, and chop them into small cubes. Set them aside.
- Whisk sugar, oil, egg, cinnamon, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
- Combine batter: Add dry ingredients to the wet and whisk briefly until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few streaks of flour in the batter are ok. Fold in the apples with a rubber spatula.
- Bake: Divide the batter between the muffin holes and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown (Note 2).
- Cool for 5 minutes in the tin. Coat them while they are still hot, just cool enough to handle.
Cinnamon coating:
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Melt the butter in a small pan.
- Dip each muffin in the butter and then turn it in the cinnamon mixture (I like to cover them entirely with the topping). Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
