Enjoy these simple, delicious apple muffins, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized with whole wheat flour or applesauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup chopped apples (about 1 medium apple)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For whole wheat apple muffins, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • You can add a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a little milk or lemon juice.
  • These muffins freeze well. Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • Add-ins like chopped nuts or raisins are great options for kids.
