Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples with 1 tablespoon of flour. Toss until the apples are well coated.

  6. Fold in the coated apple pieces and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  8. Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top of each muffin before baking.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy these fluffy cinnamon apple muffins warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Using room temperature ingredients can help create a lighter batter.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure fluffy muffins.
  • The flour coating on the apples prevents them from sinking.
  • Adjust baking time as needed; ovens vary.
