Apple Muffins Recipe
Start the preparation of the apple muffins by weighing the all-purpose flour, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder into a bowl (if you don’t have it, follow the third step).
Mix with the whisk to combine the dry ingredients and try to break any lumps of flour and baking powder.
Add the milk and eggs, one at a time: fully incorporate the previous one before moving to the next.
Also add the sunflower oil and mix until you get a smooth and lump-free mixture.
If you don’t have baking powder, add a teaspoon of baking soda to the batter.
Pour over a tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to activate it and mix well.Wash and peel an apple, remove the core, and slice it.
Cut each slice into fairly small cubes.
After adding the apple to the batter, mix well to distribute it evenly.
Fill the cavities of a muffin pan with the appropriate liners.
Using a spoon, an ice cream scoop, or a small ladle, fill the liners 2/3 full.
Bake the apple muffins in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes.
Do the toothpick test before removing them from the oven.
Let them cool slightly before serving.

Can I substitute vegetable oil with melted butter?
Yes, you can substitute vegetable oil with about 1/2 cup of melted butter for a slightly denser texture and richer taste. However, remember that butter will make the muffins more caloric.
What is the best apple for muffins?
For this recipe, you can use sweet apples like Golden or Fuji, which hold their texture well during baking. However, if you prefer a more tart flavor, try using Granny Smith apples.
Can I make apple muffins without milk?
Yes, you can substitute milk with a plant-based drink like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk, or simply with water. This will also make them suitable for those who are lactose intolerant.
How can I store apple muffins?
Store apple muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you wish to keep them fresh longer, you can freeze them and defrost as needed.
Can I add other ingredients, like nuts or raisins?
Absolutely! Raisins, nuts, or even chocolate chips pair wonderfully with apple muffins and add an extra touch of flavor and texture.
