Apple Cinnamon Muffins
These fluffy, moist apple cinnamon muffins are such a treat for breakfast or afternoon tea. Packed with apple chunks and topped with a dusting of cinnamon.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ cup peeled chopped apple (from 1 large or 2 medium)
- Thinly sliced apple plus a dusting of cinnamon for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining with paper liners or greasing well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, egg and buttermilk. Add to dry ingredients and gently incorporate using a rubber spatula until about 80% combined. Fold in chopped apple to finish combining. (You don't ever want to over-stir muffins or they'll be tough).
- Divide batter among muffin cups and top with apple slices and a dusting of cinnamon, if desired. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until golden brown and tops spring back when lightly touched. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
