Tips:

Use ripe apples: The sweeter the apples, the tastier the muffins will be. If using Granny Smith apples or other tart apples, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin cups almost to the top: This will help the muffins rise high and dome-shaped.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking will result in dry muffins.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help prevent them from falling apart.
