Ingredients

To make these delightful muffins, you’ll need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
  • Optional: a sprinkle of brown sugar for topping

Instructions

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get to work!

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line your muffin pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix until just combined. Don’t overmix; you want those muffins to be soft and fluffy!
  5. Fold in the chopped apples. If you’re feeling fancy, you can also toss the apples in a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full. If you like, sprinkle a little brown sugar on top for some extra sweetness.
  7. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The kitchen will smell heavenly, and your mouth will be watering, trust me.
  8. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

And there you have it! These Apple Pie Muffins are best enjoyed warm, maybe with a dab of butter on top. They’re perfect for serving at brunch or just enjoying during a cozy day at home. Get ready to impress your family and friends with these delightful bites of goodness!
