How to Make Apple Lavender Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender (or 2 tablespoons fresh lavender, finely chopped), 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 large egg.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup diced apples.
- Fill the prepared muffin cups about three-quarters full.
- Gently tap the muffin tin on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup diced apples over the muffins.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
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.
