- ½ cup (114g) unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup (100g) light or dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120g) sour cream or plain yogurt
- ½ cup (120ml) milk
- 2 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 2 cups (200g) peeled and chopped apples
For The Topping
- 3 tablespoon (42g) unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preparations
- Preheat the oven to 425° F.
- Grease the muffin pan with non-stick oil spray or line with paper liners.
- If you use paper liners, also grease the liners lightly. Set aside.
Making The Batter
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk well and set aside.
- Whisk melted butter, sour cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Mix until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Add milk and stir until everything is well combined.
- Now add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined. Then gently fold in diced apple. Do not overmix.
Baking The Muffins
- Use the ice cream scoop or a spoon to divide the batter evenly between the muffin tins.
- Fill each muffin tin up to the top.
- Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425° F, and then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350° F.
- Continue baking for another 14-15 minutes or until the cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
Topping The Muffins
- In a small bowl, whisk sugar and cinnamon together. And in another bowl, take the melted butter.
- Working one by one, use a pastry brush to spread butter on the top of each muffin. Then roll the top of each muffin in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.
- If you have leftover cinnamon sugar, sprinkle it on the muffins again.
Serving Suggestions
- Apple Muffins are perfect for a breakfast treat. It tastes delicious with some butter spread on it.
- If you like, these muffins also taste delicious while served warm.
- You can have it as a snack or post-dinner dessert.
- Treat you kids with apple muffins as an after-school snack.
Storing Suggestions
- These muffins stay at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- But if you have leftovers (I doubt though), cover them tightly and place them in the fridge for up to a week. Then, reheat the muffins briefly in the microwave for a fresh taste.
Notes
- Butter: Instead of melted butter, you can use any neutral-flavored oil. If you decide to use oil, add ⅓ cup.
- Flour: If you want to make the muffins healthier, you can use the same amount of whole wheat flour (preferably white whole wheat flour). Or swap half of the plain flour with whole wheat flour.
- Spices: I have added ground cinnamon and nutmeg as per my taste preference. So feel free to add it as per your taste preference. You can also add other spices of your choice.
- Cinnamon Sugar Topping: These muffins are delicious, but the topping adds more flavor and deliciousness. So I highly recommend topping the muffins with cinnamon sugar. Also, you can use more or less cinnamon sugar to top the muffins as you prefer.
