๐ฅ Step-by-Step Guide: Making Delicious Cinnamon Apple Muffin Cups at Home
Step 1 โ Mix the Dry Stuff
In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, both sugars, and a sprinkle of cinnamon until everythingโs nicely blended. Give it a quick whisk to blend the flavors.
ย Step 2 โ Toss in the Apples
Add the chopped apples into the dry mix and coat them well. “This helps them stay evenly spread throughout the batter instead of sinking down.”
ย Step 3 โ Wet Ingredients Time
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter until itโs all nice and smooth. Slowly fold it into your dry mix, stirring just until combined. Donโt overmix โ we want soft muffins!
ย Step 4 โ Bake It Up
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease or line a muffin tin and fill each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 18โ22 minutes until golden brown and your kitchen smells like autumn heaven.
Little hack: Feeling fancy? Sprinkle on some crumb topping or drizzle a sweet glaze โ trust me, itโs worth it.
