🔥 Step-by-Step Guide: Making Delicious Cinnamon Apple Muffin Cups at Home
Step 1 – Mix the Dry Stuff
In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, both sugars, and a sprinkle of cinnamon until everything’s nicely blended. Give it a quick whisk to blend the flavors.
Step 2 – 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.”
Step 3 – Wet Ingredients Time
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter until it’s all nice and smooth. Slowly fold it into your dry mix, stirring just until combined. Don’t overmix — we want soft muffins!
Step 4 – Bake It Up
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin and fill each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 18–22 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 — trust me, it’s worth it.
