How to Make Apple And Cheddar Cheese Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour (Robin Hood Flour recommended!), ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
3. Grate 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese and ½ cup of your favorite cheese (such as Monterey Jack or Colby) and add to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup buttermilk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 1 medium apple).
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fill the prepared muffin cups ¾ full.
7. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with an additional ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese, if desired.
8. Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
