Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups diced apples
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin pan
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk the eggs, milk, and oil separately, then stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until nearly combined.
  3. Fold in the diced apples, divide the batter among 12 lined muffin cups, and bake at 375°F for 18 to 22 minutes.
  4. Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use firm apples and dice them into pieces about 1/2 inch wide.
  • Do not overmix the batter, since a few small lumps are fine.
  • Store cooled muffins at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
