Ingredients for Apple Corn Muffins

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Yellow Cornmeal
  • Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples
  • Corn Kernel

How to Make Apple Corn Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup peeled and diced apples and ½ cup corn kernels into the wet ingredients.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy—don't overmix!
  6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tops should spring back when lightly touched.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
