How to Make Apple And Cheddar Corn Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup cornmeal, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  3. Add 1 cup peeled and diced apples, 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Gently fold until just combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
