About this Recipe

There’s nothing quite like the comforting aroma of cinnamon and apples wafting from the oven – and these Rustic Cinnamon Apple Muffins deliver that cozy, homemade feeling in every bite.

Packed with chunks of fresh apple and a perfect blend of warm spices, these muffins strike the ideal balance between tender and hearty.

The rustic texture, golden-brown tops, and hint of brown sugar crunch make them irresistibly charming.

Whether you’re savoring one with your morning coffee, tucking them into a lunchbox, or serving them warm with a pat of butter on a crisp fall afternoon, these muffins bring warmth and nostalgia to any moment.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Fresh Organic Apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

DIRECTIONS

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat eggs then whisk in melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined. Do not overmix – lumps are fine.

Step 5

Fold in the diced fresh apples gently, until evenly distributed, without overmixing.

Step 6

Divide batter evenly into muffins cups, filling about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 8

Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

VARIATIONS:

FOR AN EXTRA APPLE FLAVOR: Toss the diced apples with a teaspoon of lemon juice before folding them.

FOR A STREUSEL TOPPING:

  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Cold Unsalted Butter, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
  2. Cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly.
  3. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over muffin batter before baking.
