Ingredients

• Apples: 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
• Dry Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed), 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Wet Ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Glaze: 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1–2 tablespoons milk (adjust for glaze consistency)

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon milk, adding more milk as needed to reach a drizzling consistency.

Step 10

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins before serving.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To keep your muffins tasting fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you'd like to make them ahead of time, these muffins freeze well; simply thaw them at room temperature and apply the glaze after they have thawed completely.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For extra warmth, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter or stir in 1/4 cup of chopped toasted walnuts or pecans for a delightful crunch. For a richer glaze, substitute the milk with heavy cream.

Serviervorschläge

The best way to enjoy these muffins is to drizzle the glaze over them once they have cooled completely. Serve them alongside your favorite coffee or tea for a perfect snack or breakfast.
