Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.
