Ingredients for Apple N Spice Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 1 medium apple)
  • 1 large egg
  • Skim Milk
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter

How to Make Apple N Spice Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 1 medium apple), 1 large egg, ½ cup milk, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
