How to Make Apple Icious Autumn Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large egg whites, 1 cup plain yogurt, and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

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.
