Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Apple Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your muffin tin with liners or grease with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then mix in the sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
