  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh apples (about 1 large apple)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with nonstick spray.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth.
  4. Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Add chopped apples and mix until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples for the best texture and flavor.
  • Can substitute with dried apples or apple compote, reducing liquid slightly.
  • For dairy-free options, replace butter with coconut oil and sour cream with dairy-free yogurt.
  • You can add walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
