Ingredients

2 level cups apple pieces (peeled) (, 0.7 cm / 1/3" cubes (2 large apples, I use red))
1 tbsp melted butter (, for muffin tim (or use paper liners))
115g / 0.5 cup unsalted butter (, melted (1 stick))
1 cup (200g) brown sugar (, packed)
2/3 cup (165 ml) milk ((low fat, full fat, non dairy also fine))
1 large egg ((approx 60g / 2 oz))
1 tsp white vinegar ((or any other clear vinegar))
2 cups (300g) wholemeal flour ((wholewheat flour)(white also ok, Note 1))
1 tsp baking soda (bi carb) ((NOT baking powder))
1 tsp cinnamon powder
Pinch salt
2 tbsp raw sugar ((demerara sugar - large granules))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
Brush a 12 hole, standard muffin tin with melted butter, or line with paper cases. (Note 3)
Place butter and brown sugar in a bowl, whisk to combine.
Add milk, then egg and vinegar. Whisk to combine.
Scatter flour across batter surface, followed by baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk 10 times until the flour is incorporated - some lumps is fine.
Stir through apple -minimum stirs just to disperse.
Scoop batter into muffin tin - I use an ice cream scoop - filling it all the way to the top. If using a scooper, leave it the slight ball shape (see video) - don't smooth the top. You should get 12 (see Note 3).
Sprinkle with sugar (if using - makes surface slightly crispy), place muffins in the oven.
Immediately turn down to 180C/350F.
Bake for 20 minutes (standard) or 18 minutes (fan / convection) , or until a skewer comes out clean.
Rest in the muffin tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool.
Once fully cooled, store in an airtight container - it will stay moist for up to 5 days. These also freeze very well.

APPLE MUFFINS RECIPE

Apple Muffins Recipe image

Any day that starts with these tender Apple Muffins is bound to be a good one. One of the best things about these muffins is their texture; one test kitchen professional said they "aren't so soft they will fall apart, but they are almost cake-like in their softness." Not only would these sweet, soft muffins be an easy grab-and-go breakfast, but you can also make a batch for afternoon coffee or tea with the girls or to welcome a new family to the neighborhood. This recipe makes 12 muffins, so depending on the occasion and how many visitors you have, you might need to make more. Although the recipe calls for Fuji, our test kitchen professionals agreed that any apple variety works. A tip from the test kitchen: Don't over-work these muffins-they only need mixing until it is just combined, which helps keep them super soft. Begin the fall season with these fresh Apple Muffins and a warm apple cider. Is there such thing as too many apples? We don't think so. It's time for fall, y'all.
