How to Make Norsk Apple Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  2. Set aside the dry ingredients.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples.
  7. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup sliced almonds evenly over the tops of the muffins.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
