Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, gather all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you to stay organized and avoid scrambling around looking for things while you're in the middle of baking.
Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients whenever possible, as this is the most accurate way to measure.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the flavor of your muffins. Use fresh, ripe apples, and make sure your other ingredients are also fresh and of good quality.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing while they're baking.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the muffins are done baking.
Let the muffins cool before serving: Allow the muffins to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
