How to Make Apple Cheddar Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup applesauce, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
6. Peel and dice 1 medium apple (about 1 cup diced). Gently fold the diced apples into the batter.
7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
