Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large apples
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup brown sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Finishing Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 12 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Grab 2 large apples and transform them into tiny, uniform cubes. Dust your diced apples with ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
- Blend 2 cups flour, ¾ cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Crack 2 large eggs into a separate bowl. Pour in ½ cup milk and ¼ cup melted butter. Whisk these ingredients until completely integrated.
- Pour liquid mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently until components just combine. Incorporate your seasoned apple chunks with minimal mixing.
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly. Distribute batter evenly, filling each compartment approximately ¾ full.
- Position muffin tin in a preheated 350°F oven. Bake precisely 22 minutes until tops turn golden and a testing skewer emerges spotless.
- Craft glaze by whisking 2 tablespoons powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon milk. Delicately drizzle over warm muffins for a sweet finish.
Notes
- Select firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor in your muffins.
- Don’t overmix the batter, as this can make the muffins tough and dense – stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend to keep the same delicious texture.
- Warm these muffins slightly before serving to enhance the apple’s soft, fragrant quality and make the glaze extra delightful.
