Apple Cinnamon Muffin Apple Cinnamon Muffins 1/2 cup unsalted butter 3/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 2/3 cups milk 1 large apple, pealed & chopped about 1 1/2 cups chopped 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Cinnamon Sugar Topping 3 tablespoons white sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Preheat the oven to 375F degrees and line a muffin pan with papers. In a large bowl beat the butter, white sugar & brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in the eggs 1 at a time, then the vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda & salt. With the mixer on low speed beat about 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with about 1/3 of the milk. Repeat the process until everything is combined. In a separate bowl toss the chopped apple with the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Gently fold the chopped apple into the muffin batter using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan - you'll get about 12 muffins total. In a small bowl stir the sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar topping together. Then sprinkle it on top of each muffin. Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Recipe Notes *Muffins are best if eaten the same day they're made. Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
