How to Make Apple Whole Wheat Muffins King Arthur Flour

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with paper liners and grease the liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in ¼ cup packed brown sugar.
4. Add 1 large egg and beat until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
5. Gently stir in 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar).
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 2 cups chopped apples.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup packed brown sugar evenly over the tops of the muffins.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
