Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh apples, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Measure all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and natural gelling agent) into one bowl. In another bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth.
  2. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just moistened. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough muffins; mix until no dry flour is visible.
  3. Add Fresh Apples: Carefully fold the chopped fresh apples into the batter, distributing them evenly to ensure juicy bursts in every bite without breaking them down.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow space for rising without overflowing.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Choose crisp, tart apple varieties like Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor contrast.
  • Mix batter until just combined to avoid tough muffins.
  • Spoon flour lightly into measuring cup instead of scooping directly to prevent dense texture.
  • Test muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  • Cool muffins completely before storing to maintain freshness and texture.
