How to Make Apple Cranberry Wheat 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 medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup wheat germ, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 cup evaporated milk, ½ cup apple juice, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup chopped apples and ½ cup dried cranberries.
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups ¾ full.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the muffins.
  8. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!
