Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The secret to the perfect muffin is the 'two-bowl' method: separate the dry and wet ingredients, and combine them only at the end with minimal mixing. The moisture from the apples turns into steam to lift the batter, while the warm tones of cinnamon complement the buttery flavor.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Muffin tin
  • Paper liners
  • Two mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Wooden spoon

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Egg

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Tip: Paper liners protect the batter from direct contact with the hot metal, keeping the sides soft.
2 ✓

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Tip: A homogeneous dry mix prevents pockets of concentrated spice or baking powder.
3 ✓

Grate the apples and squeeze out their juice thoroughly.

Tip: If you leave the juice in, the batter will be dense and heavy, unable to rise properly.
4 ✓

In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla extract, then whisk in the melted butter and milk.

Tip: Creating a stable emulsion is key: the fat and water (milk) must combine.
5 ✓

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the apples. Fold together with a wooden spoon with just a few strokes. It's OK if it's lumpy!

Tip: This is the soul of a muffin: if you mix it until smooth, you activate the gluten and get tough muffins. Only mix until the flour just disappears.
6 ✓

Divide the batter into the cups (fill about 3/4 full).

Tip: They need room to rise.
7 ✓

Bake for 18-20 minutes. Perform a toothpick test.

Tip: They are done when the top springs back when lightly pressed.
8 ✓

Leave in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Tip: If left in the tin, the bottoms will 'sweat' and the paper will get soggy.

Recipe FAQ

Why are my muffins flat?
You overmixed the batter, or waited too long to bake after mixing (the baking powder reaction expired).
